Name that tune...
on: September 07, 2006, 02:48:14 AM
There is a song playing at the beginning of a documentary on Leonard Bernstein:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0199708/

It appears to be a Wagner piece.

I recorded a bit on the piano. Sorry for the poor recording. I transferred it from a voice recorder.

Can anyone name that tune?

Any help appreciated,
Chris

Not my strong point, but i am reasonably sure it is from a Beethoven Symphony.

Must be 3,5,6 or 7, as they are the only ones I have listened to.

Yes, it's from Beethoven's symphony No. 7.  op. 92  - this theme is from part II.
