YOUR QUESTION

11/03/2020 Hi, I’ve got a burning question that I hope you can reveal the answer to. Where is the Persichetti riff on RWotEB?
Thanx!

MY ANSWER

Ha! Thanks for paying attention. It’s in “Methamatics”. A four-note break that happens about 50 seconds in right before the first fast part. I think the notes are F, Ab, Bb, Db. It happens again a few seconds later, a half-step up and in a different rhythm, just before the vocals enter. I don’t remember which Persichetti piece I stole it from though! Something for symphonic band I’d guess.
