What's the classical piece in the background of the Radiolab "Loops" episode's segment on Gödel?
In the most recent Radiolab episode, the segment on Gödel's incompleteness theorem features a classical violin concerto (I think) that is interrupted by the noise of an explosion. I recognize it but I can't for the life of me remember what it is. You can hear it at 44:06 in the podcast version (as well as elsewhere in the segment).
I know I'm going to give myself a big dope slap when I find out, but I'll still thank you for helping me out!

Response by poster: I forgot to add that a couple minutes later in the segment, the violin solo comes in.

Best answer: It's Symphonie Espagnole by Édouard Lalo -- one of the great violin showpieces. You can see the score here.

Response by poster: Thanks, KRS! I should have thought of that.
