Invitation to pick piece(s) for tuning

It has been suggested that it would be interesting to test my adaptive
tuning methods against a number of different pieces. Another list
member had seemed to volunteer to pick pieces to test, but he has a
strange resistance to choosing particular works for which an actual
MIDI sequence exists. Therefore he has resigned from that post, and
the job is wide open.

I invite everyone on this list to suggest pieces (with actual available
GM sequence for each suggested piece).

Har! That's a hot piece, all right. Tough to render from MIDI, but
I'll do it. Is there some doubt that he wrote it, BTW?

If you find it, I'll tune it.
