  4. Berlioz: SymphonieFantastique, mvmt. 5 “He sees himself at the witches’ sabbath, in the midst of a ghastly crowd of spirits, sorceress, and monsters of every kind, assembled for his funeral. Strange noises, groans, bursts of laughter, far-off shouts to which other shouts seem to reply. The beloved tune appears once more, but it has lost its character of refinement and diffidence; it has become nothing but a common dance tune, trivial and grotesque; it is she who has come to the sabbath.” -Hector Berlioz
