STRAUSS JR Thunder and Lightening Polka/nElusive and enticing, water captures the imagination. Handel's festive Water Music paints a scene of courtly elegance, while Smetana's "The Moldau" reminds us of the powerful nostalgia that a river can evoke. Strauss's lilting Blue Danube Waltz is famous for its appearance in the movie 2001; Mendelssohn's "Fingal's Cave" vividly depicts the rugged coast of Scotland.
