Yeah.  But so?  Did I ever say that this the only thing that makes
either's music interesting?  Did Stravinsky ever do this in a simple
love ballad?  Had Kate Bush ever even *heard* of Stravinsky when she
wrote songs like this at the age of thirteen?  Wasn't there probably
some music somewhere or another that had this property long before
either Kate Bush or Stravinsky?
