I came across this video of Argerich playing this concerto and I am interested in listening to the whole thing. I have a very very very limited knowledge of the piano concerto and I just want someone to identify for me the piano concerto. Thal, if you can do this, great. TIA

I have not got any speakers at the moment, but I think I have seen the clip before and it was one of those Prokofiev things.

Damn, dude, you can tell that's Prokofiev just by looking at the video w/o hearing?! ...cool, but, yea, that's the conclusion to Prokofiev's 3rd.  
Haydn: Sonata in C No. 35
Scarlatti: K. 1, 380, 443
Blasco de Nebra: Sonata V
Handel: Fantasia in C G.60
Couperin: La Reville Matin
Rameau: La Dauphine

Prokofiev's third!  It would be pretty impressive if you could play it though, PRETTY difficult!
