Pardon the cross-posting, but I had no idea which group would be most
appropriate.

I detect considerable similarity between the openings of Leos Janacek's
"Sinfonietta" and King Crimson's "Court of the Crimson King." There
are four major possibilities:

   1. Not having heard "C of the CK" for years, I've imagined the
      similarity.
   2. I know less about music than I do about particle physics.
   3. Remarkable coincidence.
   4. Design.

Does anyone out there have a strong opinion on this? Mail is probably
best, posting to net.music.classical second best, and posting to net.music
(which I don't often sample) worst. Regards, and thanks, Paul Dolber
(...duke!phs!paul).
