Ludwig van Beethoven's Grosse Fugue

I've found that for me the Grosse Fugue is a most excellent recreator after a lengthy intensive session of studying Ancient Greek. I usually precede it with Ludwig's Opus 130 String Quartet performed by the Leipziger Quartet on CD.

Tonight I discovered Stevie Ray Vaughn's "The Sky is Crying" to be a fitting caboose.
