What is this? I love it!
on: November 21, 2004, 04:16:10 AM
I have a 500kb 1 minute sound clip of a chopin piece, I have no idea how it got on my PC and have no Idea what piece it's from.

It's from an end of a piece as there is rapturous applause, also it sounds like there is 2 pianos but I'm not sure.


I can't host it so can I E-mail the clip to someone and they have a listen?

Tell us more about the piece.

Solo piano?

Can you figure out what key it's in?

Can you figure out what notes are in the melody?

the meter?

What's the mood of the piece?


(This reminds me of those "guess this piece" games that went on awhile ago.

It's not a solo as I can hear light orchestra in the background.

Thats all I know, Can I e-mail it to someone? it's only a small file  (486 k/b mp3)

Or is there somewhere that I can host it for free?

If you know so little about it, how do you know it's a Chopin piece?

Good question, the file is called 'Chopin' and thats it.

Only a minute long.


So no one wants to offer their E-mail to try and help?

Email it to me at sketchee@gmail.com   If I don't recognize it, I can at least put it as a download so someone else can take a listen
