@voltronic A lot of Wagner is similar. It's the only thing worse than the chugging train of Mozart.
@Graci
The bass part for the opening Sunrise of Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra looks identical, except on a low C and in 4/4.
@Teej_Muk @voltronic True. And older pieces weren't written for bass, just cello. We used to joke about making an electric motor for Mozart bowing
