I waited for the entrance of the piano, but it seems, there isn't a piano at all   :D

Seems some Weber/Liszt/Wagner influenced romantic composition for great orchestra. Sorry, that's not my field of interest   8)
If it doesn't work - try something different!

Sounds like Brahms to me. Same type of orchestration than in the opening of his first piano concerto.

Yeh, definitely Brahms-influenced, but not Brahms.  Some free-standing overture, or tone poem.  Dvorak?  Smetana?  I'm stumped.  It ain't bad, but it ain't great either.
Current repertoire:  "Come to Jesus" (in whole-notes)

close! Smetana's the Moldau from his cycle of 6 symphonic poems Ma Vlast (my country)

Sorry, but it ain't the Moldau - everyone knows that!
It's the 3rd movt from Ma Vlast - Sarka.
Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.

When I first moved into my neighborhood there was this kid who had a crush on my daughter. He was probably 10 or 11 or so. Anyway, he used to ride his scooter back and forth in front of my house, wearing his little helmet, hoping to see my daughter out playing or something.

One day he finally got up the courage to come talk to me when I was doing some yard work. The kid just walks up to me, sticks out his hand and says "Cerulean, sir, Cerulean T. Farnsworth," with a big ass toothy grin and what I can only describe as a 1940s "fast talker" accent.

And I checked, and that is his actual name, and that is how he introduces himself. I thought it was pretty damn cool.
