For seven seconds I had mistakenly thought I was listening to the music of Aaron Copland. Radioio was playing over iTunes, and a new piece came on, and my brain quickly flashed Copland.

But my brain was wrong. Seven or so seconds later, I identified the work as Charles Ives's Third Symphony.

Yes, this first work of Americana in the quasi-modernist sense can be mistaken, for a short period of time at least, with music of Copland.

Or perhaps my synapses just misfired.
