RUNESTAD WRITES

It’s been a bit of an absence for me, but picking up from “Just Another Dream” here is the easily recognizable second waltz from Dmitri Shostakovich’s “Jazz Suite No. 2.”  Kubrick made it famous in Eyes Wide Shut, which is based on a novel titled Traumnovelle, or “Dream Novel.”  So there, from one dream to another.  (And I have no idea how often it’s been used in this or that . . . it recently showed up in Batman v Superman, but I associate it most with an episode of the Nero Wolfe series with Timothy Hutton and Maury Chaykin.)
