Freud and The High "C"

Freud and the High “C” is a spoof on Freud who, with few exceptions such as Mozart, disliked music. The composition touches on the personalities of the composers who ranged from murderers and self-destroyers to those who had some strange personal habits. This strategy was utilized to allow my heroine to have “musical” nightmares. The idea of the High “C” came from the play with orchestra “Every good boy deserves a favor” by Tom Stoppard. In the play one of the Ivanovs is incarcerated in an institution as a psychotic who always hears the High “C.”
