I wish someone would do a history tracing how classical music has been used in contests over the years. How long, for instance, was "Also sprach Zarathustra" (i.e. "2001") heard everywhere? Or "Carmina Burana"? And what have been the most recent fads in that area? What piece now seems inexorably headed for cliche-dom?
