The coffee break uses Georges Antheil's Ballet mécanique as a springboard to an exploration about movement in music. We backtrack to Honegger's Pacific 231 then listen to snippets of the rest of his Mouvement Symphonique, one movement composed to recreate the experience of playing rugby. We end on a surprising piece honoring steel manufacturing written by the great Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev. Listen to the full piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-Fi0TwTsMY
