IS THE THEME CALLED "2001..." OR IS IT "ALSO SPRAKE ZARATHUSTRA" BY STRAUSS ?

[TheGent2U]

@l483260l  The theme from "2001" is the beginning of "Also Spracht Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss. There is much more to that piece. Just like Rossini's "William Tell Overture" is better known in some circles for the portion that is the theme for "The Lone Ranger".

YOU'RE RIGHT. THE COOL THING IS WE LEARN THIS CLASSICAL MUSIC THROUGH MOVIES( DISNEY'S "FANTASIA" WAS AMONG THE FIRST)& CARTOONS. MY VERY FAVORITE IS BUGS BUNNY& ELMER FUDD("KILL DA WABBIT":) IN A PARODY OF WAGNER'S "GOTTERDAMMERUNG" I THINK THIS IS IT: PRICELESS!

@I4832601 - Chuck Jones considered "What's Opera, Doc?" to be his masterpiece. It ran over budget, but Termite Terrace kept that under wraps by, ahem, "reallocating" (stealing) budget resources from other projects. I think it should have won an Oscar. But it was never even submitted. Asked why, later, a spokesman for Warner Brothers admitted they simply never considered submitting it. Oops.
