	Here are some prog classical ripoffs you did not bring up. (I would have posted to your forum, but I cannot find the "comments" section you speak of): The most obvious one, I'd think: The Nice- Karelia Suite (Sibelius), America (Bernstein) ELP - Knife edge (Yanacek sinfonetta for orchestra - perhaps you mentioned this) Mastermind - ride of Valkyrie Pell Mell -Rhapsody (Smetana), Can-Can Solarplexus - Danse russe Micheal Quatro Jam Band -really fine Rachmaninov rendition on his first lp Sadowski - Debussy's Syrinx Renaissance - lotta references, many not given credit - Debussy, Shostakovitch,Jehan Alain, Rachmoninov ,Albinoni,Prokofiev Annie Haslam -first solo lp ("Going Home") Also Dvorjack New World Symphony - Pell Mell T-Tauri, a Dutch band, did the whole of Pictures at Exhibition Speaking of Holland, Flairk I would think fit the bill somewhere in their large discography. The organist of Focus' early lps were classical . Ekseption - this was their specialty, fer crissake Gryphon - offshoot first solo lp is all-classical (but NOT rock hybrid) New Trolls -monte calvo Il Roveshio della Medaglia -concept on mad Scotsman thinks he is reincarnation of Bach Even Alan Parsons hit on Debussy "(or , more correctly Wolfson) on Tales of Mystery & Imagination Beggar's Opera - Raymond sHAGGY - LESSONS FOR BEGINNERS lOVE sCULPTURE - SABRE DANCE
