Why are people bothering to download that clip?  Haha. That's a hastily edited and chopped audio clip.  I don't even think I did the compression right on that.

It's rach 3, of course.
It's funny, I had a similar brainstorm, but as of yet, I don't know how to post it.
When I was working in the theatre, during the stage rehearsals, when you're doing nothing more than actually playing, I played a game with one of the stage maestri.  He was a pianist as well.  It went like this:  I played one note from the beginning of something.  If he was lucky, he might have guessed it from that.  More often then not, though, he couldn't.  So I played the first two notes.  actually, more than notes, it was the first two beats.  Be they chords or single notes.  And we'd go on, one note at a time, until he guessed the piece.  And then he would do the same for me.  I remember once, he played a d (below middle c) with the rh 3rd finger.  And I guessed it!!!!  Can you?
