Care to name a song?

&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?

Strange, but I cannot hear anyone singing.

Anyway it is Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky. Arguably the worst pile of crap ever written for piano.

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

Thal, care to explain why it is arguably the worst pile of crap ever written for piano?
Bach - Partita No.2
Scriabin - Etude 8/12
Debussy - L'isle Joyeuse
Liszt - Un Sospiro

Goal:
Prokofiev - Toccata

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.
