We were discussing key modulations, and how from a given chord, you can
sometimes modulate to one of four different keys. Prof Cohen then improved
an excerpt where he modulated from the first key to the next back to the
first to the next iterate rinse wash lather, which sounded as painful as
you might think.
After the laughter had died down, he quipped
Well... that might be a perfectly acceptable ending for a
seven-hour symphony...
