Everyone's A Critic

I got a new CD yesterday. It contained Khachaturian's Piano Concerto and a couple of his suites. The first movement from his Gayaneh Ballet Suite is something everyone has heard at least once in their life. It's the Sabre Dance.

I played it for my kids last night wondering what they thought of it. As soon as it came on, they cried out in unison "Circus Music!". Of course they had no clue who composed it or where it came from. All they knew is that knife-jugglers and plate-twirlers have been performing their acts to the toe-tapping sound of this old war horse since time immemorial.

I wonder if I could work with it playing loudly in the background?
