Moe – And Life Like Froth Doth Throb

^{Eric Moe (b. 1954)}

^{And Life Like Froth Doth Throb (1997)}

^{Eric Moe’s And Life Like Froth Doth Throb is a late-20th-century take on the classic moto perpetuo, that genre so popular amongst virtuosi of the 19th century. Only about four minutes long, Matthew Guerrieri describes it as “perpetual motion with blinders off, pirouetting in every direction, expending all its energy just to stay tethered to its careening orbit.”}
