I don't think it's in the same key, though.Good, so it's not just me! I didn't realise that devin was a huge Stravinsky fan because im quite a contemporary fan myself.
It is indeed the first theme of the "Rites of Spring" better known as "Le Sacre du Printemps". The reason why only so few people have realized it being there at the end of the song might be that it is played only by a bassoon. It almost escaped my ears although I knew what to expect. I really admire your listening abilities. By the way, it's in the correct key.the Rites of Spring is badass, got it on CD with firebird.
Yeah, that's probably my favorite orchestral piece ever. I wouldn't have noticed that allusion if that weren't the case.
