Care to name a song?

on: February 26, 2011, 12:25:12 AM

&feature=related

At 2:30 the song plays for maybe 6 seconds.

I know ive heard the song once before but for the life of me I can't remember the name or who composed it.

Any recollections?

It is Promenade from Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky, to be more precise.

Pictures at an Exhibition may be a mediocre piece, but it far from the worst ever written. But yes, there is no one singing, so it is not a song. It is a piece.

When Practice Stagnates – Breaking the Performance Ceiling: Robotic Training for Pianists

“Practice makes perfect” is a common mantra for any pianist, but we all know it’s an oversimplification. While practice often leads to improvement, true perfection is elusive.
