Help identifying pieces from very short extracts
on: May 04, 2015, 05:22:12 AM
Would anyone be able please to identify the music played in the following video at 1:38 and at 19:55? I imagined that the second might be Chopin but having played through in my head everything he wrote in D-flat major I was mistaken I think. Many thanks.

I believe the first is the intro to a Schubert song. Can't say which one, though, there are a lot of them... The second piece does indeed sound like Chopin but it isn't. I can't think by whom it could be. Quite infuriating so I hope someone else here knows.

First is indeed Schubert - "Das Wandern"
Here's Liszt's version -



Godowsky made a straightforward transcription that's not at all hard to handle. Two pages and you're done!

I don't know the second music you're asking about.

I'm disappointed though that nobody (including myself) knows the second bit  :(
