Ruby My Dear by Thelonius Monk is played by the Dan Crisci Jazz Quartet. Robert Schumann's piano composition Wichtige Begebenheit from his Kinderszenen presents another opportunity to notice larger sections and introduces the concept of program music. Mozart's clever Variations on Ah! vous dirai-je Maman, K. 265/300e also for piano solo, reinforces the concept of open-minded listening.
