A few oddities about this shuffle:

In the course of a 30-track shuffle (should we still call them ‘tracks’?) there occurred two consecutive numbers from the Prokofiev Visions fugitives Opus 22, and two consecutive movements from the Shostakovich 13^th Symphony.

And Mannheim Steamroller Christmas music came in a bit heavy statistically (then, and here). Perhaps that will pass, now that spring is arriving.

And for non-oddity . . . the sequence of Nielsen Clarinet Concerto, “Electric Aunt Jemima” & “Humor” from the Babi Yar symphony was especially tasty.
