Ubiquitous Schumann

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
Some years ago I heard Schumann's Piano Quintet for the first time at the Barbican Hall. A while later, one lunchtime, I was leafing through CDs in the shop at the Festival Hall and found a CD of the piece. Within about five seconds of my picking up the CD to buy it, a group of musicians started playing something strangely familiar. The Schumann Piano Quintet.
