Via Alan Bradley an obscurity in the form of Mendelssohn's variations on Wie gross ist des Allmächt'gen Güte, which Ophelia de Luce can be found practicing early on in Speaking from Among the Bones.



As Flavia notes, the best moment comes when it shifts from the chorale theme into the first variation: "the point where it leaps in an instant from sounding like a quiet sea at sunset to the snarl of a jungle animal"
