Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

In a longer multi-part piece, stops and starts can follow upon each other, and be connected. Thus in symphonies. Here is one I like, the transition from movement 2 to movement 3 in Antonín Dvořák's New World Symphony. Regrettably, I found no continuous version on YouTube (what's more movement 2 is cut in half), so here are the two movements separately:

2nd Movement part 2 (07:45)

3rd Movement (07:55)

(I like the latter more than the more famous 4th movement, BTW)

There are transitions on rock albums, too. A quite obvious one is from track 4 to track 5 on Midnight Oil's Diesel And Dust album: the end of Arctic World and the start of Warakurna. I found a concert version of the latter where they start with the end of Arctic World:

Midnight Oil: Warakurna Live in Sydney (04:51, the 'stolen end' of the other song is 00:12-00:28):

(For comparison, the studio versions: Arctic World [only album art still] Warakurna [only music!]; if only YouTube could play back-on-back.)

"Transitions" would make another great diary theme!
