Prokofiev 3rd Piano Concerto

[to4ko99]

The first movement has this very memorable second theme, the part with the castanets playing the rhythmic form and the orchestra playing it. I've heard it outside of the concerto, I know it's a Russian piece, but which one exactly?

[coda_colossale]

You mean the one that goes: (each character representing an eight note)
----GG,FF,EEEE,CC,G#G#,BB,D#D#,C#,C,BB,f/AAAA,G,A,A#,B,BBBB.
Right?
Duh, I hate that theme.
Never heard of that. Interesting though.
