Hi.
I have only heard the Bert Coules production of "The Devil's Foot" once, and I am dying to know what the piece of classical music played during the hallucination sequence. I can only guess it was Wagner, but I don't know.
any music majors out there who would recognize it?

If memory serves me right, that piece ought to have been some version of "So starben wir" from the second scene of the second act of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. At least, that's the piece Holmes was quoting at the beginning of the episode.

You have just reminded me again of what a wonderful episode that was. The hallucination sequence with Watson reciting Isolde's lines was perfect. In fact, everything about the episode was perfect. Now I really want to hear it again . . .
