Google will soon be providing a
Find the Tune (maybe not so finely-tuned)
service whereby we will be able
to hum a scrap of melody
into a smartphone and have it identified
as the main theme of the second movement of
Sibelius' Violin Concerto (my favourite)
or the Brahms Piano Quintet (another favourite)
or the tenth variation of Rachmaninov's
Paganini Variations...
then play the original back to us,
directly into our brain, like an earworm.
Awesome!
Another thought, an hour later:
Earworms are poor music for the deaf.
