Has anyone ever noticed that the 2nd movement of Edward Elgar's Cello Concerto (towards the end of the movement, specifically the 17th-to-last to 15th-to-last measures) contains the same harmonic progression as the first few bars of John Coltrane's jazz composition "Giant Steps" (transposed to G Major, without the "major 7th" pitch within chords)?
