Post Whats the swan lake doing in TOB

When I was on my pocketplane, I noticed a melody from the Swan Lake from Thaikovsky.
Not the whole song, but a part...

Well, but Vegeta's got a point--if it's true; I've never noticed it. Typically, all the music in these Interplay-released CRPGs have been original. It's odd for them to use a known melody. I'll have to check it out.

I'm very familiar with Tchaikowsky's work, and indeed, there is a part that sounds like ripped from Swan lake. I noticed it first time I was in the pocket plane. I'll check again next time I play.

Btw, there is a part in IWD that sounds extremely like a part from one of Shostakowitch's symphonies, but I don't remember which one now.

You're the only one refined enough to have noticed and appreciated a passage of classical music. Congratulations. Doesn't say much for the rest of us, though.

I guess Bhaal had a soft spot for the classics, or maybe or impish friend has a secret hobby, someone has to have made the music.
