Jay concludes this episode with “Speak Low,” the Kurt Weill song (lyrics by Ogden Nash). Before that, you have any number of other interesting things. Well, a specific number: six. A very tasty menu of music.

Strauss, “Malven”
Boccherini-Berio, “Ritirata notturna di Madrid”
García Lorca, “Sevillanas”
Wagner, “Lohengrin,” Prelude to Act III
Wolf, “Die Spröde”
