Is it Bache piano concerto in e major?

Who's Bache?

The concerto is E-minor...

EDIT: I actually thought for about 10 seconds that there might be a composer by that name  ;D
But you're about 200 years early...

That's what everyone replies when they listen about him. He was a very prominent composer of the romantic era, student of Sterndale Bennett. He had written a piano concerto in e major and other compositions, but he died when he was 25 or so years by tuberculosis... Now, the only two composers that come into my mind with e minor are Chopin and Rubinstein... I don't know who else... Is it Rubi 1st?  :)

Poor guy :(

Was he the one who composed fugues and variations in all keys with bad temperament?

Nope... Actually I do know one thing about the composer, he studied with Liszt...

No, seriously he exists!!  :D If you can't find him in google it's due to the fact that 100 and something years before him lived a little plumb man who didn't have anyhting else to do than write preludes and fuges all day long. He even lacked the letter e from his name!!!  ;D ;D ;D
Now, I have to admit that you beat me this time... There are so many composers that studied with Liszt... Is there a wiki page about him?

Haha that's right!  :) Well, I have to listen to that concerto... It's pretty good... Now let's try this one. If you're British you'll find it easy...  ;)

I'm not British and I am at work with no sound...have to wait until later...

I wonder if I really have many more to put into this game. They are either too obscure, so almost impossible, or too easy. How about expanding to sonatas or chamber music? :)

I'd need to listen through a bunch of concertos I guess to find this one :(

And if your hints points to a British composer, the only ones I have even heard are by Field... Someone else must take this one....

But anyway, since the concertos are getting a bit obscure, here's a sonata for you :)
