The classical music that Martin always played

I love listening to the greats like Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Sebelius, Chopin, etc. Classical music has always been a part of my life and I will always listen to it. However, this music is not something my ears like hearing. I completely understand why Laura was so disturbed by Symphonie Fantastique. That piece of music was so haunting, eerie and terrifying that it haunted me for years after I first heard it. It's truly sinister and it's not even music that was composed for the film! I wonder, did it scare the bejebees out of anyone else?

Yes! It sure scared me too, still creeps me out a bit!

The only thing about it that is a bit odd is that its an excerpt of the musical piece....a VERY long musical piece.... yet the film acts like its instantaneous.

Also, what's eerie about it is that its supposed to be about a man who is so obsessed with his lover that he stalks and/or kills her (not sure exactly).
But actor Patrick Bergin (Martin) evidently chose the piece for the film. 

I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

That music fit perfectly with Martin's personality.
