A Polka? - Witches of Eastwick

[ja...@compuserve.com]

I've been trying to find a piece of music from the film 'The Witches
of Eastwick' for the last 7 years (admittedly on and off) and have
ended up posting this here!
Unfortunately the piece features only briefly and is not included in the
soundtrack credits. The piece is being played by Fidel (the servant) on a
small white ships piano, towards the end of the movie (shortly after the
demise of D Vanhorn) as the three toddlers make their way to the
multi-screen T.V. room. The piece sounds remarkably like a Stravinsky
Polka, but you only get to hear a small phrase. I'm going insane, if
anyone knows what this piece is, I'll give the person all the Stravinsky
I've bought in the last 7 years (in an attempt to find the right piece).

I think that the film credits list it as being an original piece written
by Carel Struycken, the actor who played the servent.

Have you found that music yet? I've been looking for "Feodora" by either Carel Struycken or as i seem to have been led to think, Carl Orf.
