Anywho, I think that the piece is effective. I can understnad how someone would be driven mad by it. I really love the piece. I think that the instrumentation and the dynamics and the voicing change just enough each time to keep the piece from sounding repetitive. When I listen to it I never get irritated or bored. I do not think that it gets repeated too often. It might also help that it is a very brilliantly catchy tune. However, if I had to play pizzicato on the strings I think I would be the major cause for the death of each and everyone of the orchestra members and possibly the front row of the audience.

Oh, has anyone seen that very strange "music video" of Bolero where people continuely migrate up a never ending set of stairs? Each time they come to a ledge or pause in the staircase they pass an object to the next group to go up the stairs. And, at the end, I think this coffin opens up and a skeleton or two fall to the ground, The End. It is very morbid and disgusting. I saw it on a local community college chanel. I believe it is called Stairway to Lenin.
