Help me identify this piece!

Anyone know which piece this passage belongs to? It's been haunting me for months! Attached is an approximation of how it sounds.  ???

Hmmm....

Well, if it is the Chopin, here is a first page preview:

Is that it?

It's not Chopin's Op. 48 no. 1, although I had thought so as well! I can't be sure if it's music for solo piano, piano chamber/orchestral, or even non-piano.

Way out there, but is it minor or major? The clip you have looks major, but it sounds like you're lookin for somethin' minor..

I think, it is a modified version of Yann Tiersen's "Amelie" Soundtrack.

If it doesn't work - try something different!

Good news! I finally figured out the mystery piece. It is the Andante con moto (third movement) from Saint-Saëns Piano Trio no. 2 in E minor, Op. 92.

Oh happy day!  :D :D :D
