Unknown Chopin Piece
on: June 15, 2013, 02:31:41 AM
Hi All,

My daughter really loves this short Chopin piece from a mobile that we had on her baby crib, but I've not been able to identify it. It sounds like a waltz to me, but I combed through Chopin waltz recordings without any luck.

Here's a short clip of the tune--it plays over the first 20 seconds or so.



Any help is greatly appreciated. Can anyone name that tune?

Tim

I don't know about the non-piano tune, but the piano excerpt is from the second movement of Mozart's piano concerto, K 466.
