That is a quotation of Paul Lansky's "Mild und Leise" (quotation of Tristan's
chord in Richard Wagner's /Tristan und Isolde/), made with Music 360 at
Princeton in 1974.

Hi Anton,

I tried to remake it but the original seems to me to have a fair
amount of variation in amplitude, panning, vibrato rate, etc.  I made
a simple version, and was mostly just experimenting with the
carrier/modular/index values for a 2 operator FM instrument.  I've
pasted below what I got. It's not really very close, but might be
useful for a start if you're continuing to work with it. (The code may
be a little tricky to sort through due to it having some generated
code from blue.)

Thanks,
steven
