trivia for you

Without CHEATING, does anyone know what classical piece this is?



It has been my favorite piece of classical music for many, many years, ever since I was a wee geeky little lad.

So, what is it? Guess, guess, guess! Please.

Easy.

Piano Concerto No. 1 in Bb Minor by Tchaikovsky. Back when I thought my future was in piano performance, I tried to play it...

This is just the first movement. The second movement is hauntingly beautiful and the third is just crazily awesome. Check them out on iTunes or something.

Yay! Phillip you win...um...glory, I guess? *bows down*

I listen to it often. All 30+ minutes of it. I have the Sviatoslaw Richter version (from iTunes ) which comes with Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 (another really spiffy shindig).

I'm thinking of making this a regular occurrence...these trivia things. Seems fun. Maybe? I'll try and not go overboard...
