Notes About This Song

Amnesia Vivace was originally called "Remember".
It includes quotes from The Rite of Spring (Stravinsky), The Firebird (Stravinsky), and Duke Of Earl (Dixon/Edwards/Williams)

FZ in The Real Frank Zappa Book:

"Then there's a place in Duke of Prunes where the "Berceuse" from Stravinsky's Firebird Suite is floated over another, more rhythmic theme from The Rite of Spring."
