Thank you for reminding me. Yes, it was really the superb way Lovecraft built that feeling of suspense so cleverly with the ever increasing wildness of the music that had me on tender hooks. I also like the way that after having reached such a supsenful climax the author of the story is never able to recapture or indeed relocate the scene or its protagonist. There's something wistful, indeed almost tradgic in this like a love that can never be rekindled. I understand this was also a personal favourite of the Old Gent, so looks like great minds do think alike...

I think Ningauble is correct in the previous post but if someone has actually seen it I would like to know their opinion.....
