Yesterday's piece was "Spring Song" from Mendelssohn's Song without Words. This has been a staple soundtrack for animated cartoon bunnies, but a CD company in Japan took a therapeutic angle by including it in an album claiming to relieve headaches. I wonder if they also included the pop song standard "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most."
