hello. does anybody know what the piece is that i think is in C minor, and goes:

G (crotchet) (then up) Eb (crotchet) (then down) B/C trill... A B  (minim) C.

thanks in advance for any help.

I think this is the end of the second mov't theme of Schubert's E flat piano trio. BTW, this piece is used to great effect's in Stanley Kubrick's wonderful Barry Lyndon.
"In the crystal of his harmony he gathered the tears of the Polish people strewn over the fields, and placed them as the diamond of beauty in the diadem of humanity." --The poet Norwid, on Chopin

I hat it when I hear pieces in my head and can't place them... I go insane until I can't find out what it is.
It all happens on Discworld, where greed and ignorance influence human behavior... and perfectly ordinary people occasionally act like raving idiots.

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.
