Well, yes - Wagner was a bit louder, for one thing. Still, Hagen's
funeral march is quite spectacular, musically speaking.

True, true, and I can't believe I misspelled it (thanks for the silent
spelling correction <g>). After all, the disc is right here on my desk.

Correct. I only played violin for 5 years.

Entirely possible, though I think it helps to know the story behind the
music - a lot of it tells a story. For example, Berlioz's _Symphonie
Fantastique_ tells a story about a guy who is in love but can't make it
work out. He decides to take opium, and the music itself is inspired by
the idea of the opium-induced dreams he had as a result.
The fourth movement ends with him having his head cut off by a
guillotine. If you know the story, you can actually hear his head bounce
down the steps after the blade falls.
Then you get into the 5th movement, which is him in the afterlife. It
ain't pretty (and yet it is).
The really fun thing is listening to that on the local classical radio
station; it's run by Brigham Young University, a university of the LDS
Church. It seems clear to me that the announcers really don't know the
story behind the music, or they'd never play it on the air.

in this particular case, many scholars think it's not really a Bach work. He
most probably adapted it to organ from some prior violin work...
If you think he's a madman for that one, wait until you hear some pieces from

But maybe they can tell who bought the mp3 file by looking at it...

I was blown away the first time I listened through that while following
along in with the score. There was so much that I missing that I was
astounded by the technical virtuosity (I think it's also fantastic music
on the non-technical side as well of course).

You also have to protect the decrypted content, which is rather
difficult to accomplish without corrupting every bit of hardware and
software through which it flows.
(Maybe that's what you meant by "decryption process" tho.)

Exactly. Indeed, scroll down to the next section. :-)

I'm sure they probably can. That's a bit different than DRM, though,
which has the explicit stated goal of preventing people from
"inappropriate use". Watermarking allows them to act reactivley - and I
believe is fairly easy to remove anyways...
mplayer -ao pcm:file=temp.wav file.mp3
lame -h temp.wav file-without-watermark.mp3
(Might have the parameters wrong, but I think you know what I mean).

You played violin? That's cool. :-)
Did you just take lessons in school, or private lessons, or self-study?
