PROKOFIEV'S DANCE OF THE KNIGHTS; MY VILLAIN'S MUSIC

I've been searching and searching for music to write to; I generally write in total silence but I thought it might be nice to have some inspirational music that "feels" like my book on in the background.  I know a lot of writers make playlists for their writing or their finished novels.

I hadn't had much success until recently, when I started getting some ballet scores from the library.  Hooray, Prokofiev!  This piece, the Dance of the Knights, which surely has been used in movie soundtracks before, is just perfect for my novel's villain.  Playlist song number one!  Dance of Miss Dalrymple.  Hit the play button; you'll hear what I'm talking about immediately.
