The Graf Spee (3:13)
Some kinds of tunes paint a visual image, some with hard, jagged edges, and some with softer transitions between parts and moods. The Graf Spee feels like the latter of these, climbing just a little higher in pitch and intensity with each part before finally settling back down again at the top. It’s one of those melodies that just feels good to play, and consequently is hard to get out of at the end, if there really is an end.
