a definitive list of all the music that has been heard on 'Frasier' - the
items, their composers, their performers, and links to clips of the actual
music if they are available. It can then be hosted on someone's
homepage/website (who with assistance from the rest of us should have no
problem updating it as new eps appear) and linked to from the FAQ/FUQ. If
such a list already exists, (even an incomplete one) please let us know and
provide its address. Otherwise please fill in any detail you can on the list
of eps below - and if you'd like to host the list tell us that too.]
Okay, I've assembled the info we've accumulated so far onto this list, for
convenience. (Thanks to Charles, Dorcie, Phoebe, Bridget, Tony Minkoff, Joe
Chip and especially Anne T. from CN, who sent me all the stuff on the new
'Frasier' CD. If I've omitted any acknowledgements please accept my
apologies and remind me.) Now it's time for a few more of you to share your

(Big Snip)
That Wagner thingie in "Crane vs. Crane" is from Act II of "Parsifal," I
believe. In another episode-- I'll find it-- they announce to Martin that they
are going to see "Der Fliegende Holla:nder!" and sing a few bars of the
overture.
In "Author, Author" they sang a verse of a beautiful musical number beginning
with the words, "Oh some boys go to college . . ." (a tune suspiciously similar
to the "Robin Hood" song DHP sang some years ago on Rosie O'Donnell's show)
And in "They're Playing My Song" Niles demonstrated the relationship between an
early composition of Frasier's and Beethoven's 9th symphony-- a relationship
that might be described as "identical."
Love and kisses,
"Dr." T.

(It's a piano piece by Robert Schumann, and a book by E.T.A. Hoffmann)

I love that scene.
