<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt; direction: ltr;">Dear all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like to mention two F#-major passages that I often hear as related, though I am almost sure the resemblances are coincidental.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(1) Verdi, Othello, Act 4, Desdemona's Willow Song. See the opening orchestral passage in particular.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(2) Brahms, Op. 118, No. 2 Intermezzo in A major. See the B section, just after the internal repeat signs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Besides the melodic similarity, both passages make prominent use of the mediant chord to harmonize E#.</div>
<div><br>
