  1. Identifying Classical Music
    Hello everyone, I am absolutely desperate to identify the tune played in this tourism video about Budapest called "Beautiful Budapest (1938)". Here is the video . This video is from a series called TravelTalks produced by James Fitzpatrick with the musical score performed by Jack Shilkret...
  2. Today's Composers
    Hi everyone. I wrote another waltz. This one kept on growing as I added more and more themes. One consistent aspect was a feeling of gliding or floating, so I set it to video from Lillehammer Olympics of the figure skating. I think they go together very well. Hope you enjoy, and love to...
  3. Identifying Classical Music
    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me. It's been years of searching this song, it's a song I used to play on the piano (very badly) when I was a child for my great grandmother who had suffered a series of strokes and wouldn't talk very much but she always responded to this song. She used to play...
  4. Today's Composers
    Hi everyone. After last week's events in Christchurch which affected the whole country a great deal, I was moved to write another Waltz. It's not intended to be programmatic, although it does contain some eastern-ish themes. Hope you enjoy, and criticisms welcome.
  5. Orchestral Music
    Reccomended threads: Favorite Waltz Composer/Waltzes? Poll: Your opinion on J.Strauss and co.? I've been searching for threads of waltzes in Talk Classical but I found nothing related to my topic. Now I'm not as a fan of light waltz music as I was before. My only experience were the Karajan...

    Here is a short piano waltz I wrote. what do you think?
  7. Identifying Classical Music
    I heard this piece being played on a self-playing piano in a cafe. I played it by ear on the piano when I came back home. It is a waltz in E minor. It is not Chopin. I have consulted Musicapedia, Shazam, Soundhound, asked friends, and I have not had any results. It needs to be heard by a human...
  8. Identifying Classical Music
    Hello, I was watching a documentary on YouTube the other night about the history of the Royal Collection. It was produced in 1977, the year of Queen Elizabeth II's silver jubilee. There is a wonderful piece of music played at 8:00 and I was wondering if anyone could identify it. It starts eight...
  9. Identifying Classical Music
    I've still had no success in identifying this orchestral waltz (melody is either French-horn or trombone?)...someone elsewhere thought it could be Waldteufel or Strauss but those seem to be last-resort guesses... Any ideas? :confused: Note that the piece used in the original episode clip...
  10. Classical Music Discussion
    Hi everyone, I have been listening to various classical pieces for the past 6 months. I have no musical background nor basic musical knowledge, but I love classical music—indeed, these days, the only music I listen to. Please give me suggestions to explore more. I'd like to appreciate the...
  11. The Movie Corner: Music for Cinema and TV
    In the 1948 film, George Stevens' production of 'I Remember Mama', there is a beautiful waltz. It is in the scene where the mother (Irene Dun) visits the celebrity character Miss Florence Dana Moorhead, who is a published writer in the film. This waltz is playing in the background. I have heard...
  12. Today's Composers
    I wrote a new short piano piece for Grand Piano that is called "A Spring Waltz". Since that I'm not a very active member on this forum, nevertheless I wanted to share you this piece that I created. I'm kinda sorry if I was a bit away of everything that happened on this forum for a LONG TIME...

  14. Classical Music Discussion
    Tell us what piece(s) got you to love classical music. I'll start. There are two pieces that got me into classical music. The first is the aria "La donna e mobile" from the Verdi opera "Rigoletto". I heard it on "Elmo's World" when I was two years old. The second is "On The Beautiful Blue...

    Okay, here is a Youtube music game I decided to start. My choice concert is going to be Richter's Chopin series of the following pieces: Polonaise-Fantaisie in A-flat major, Op. 61 Waltz op. 34 n.3 in F major Waltz op. 70 n.3 in D-flat major Mazurka op. 63 n.3 in C-sharp minor Mazurka op. 67...
  16. Solved Cases (archive)
    Hello all, I recently found this orchestral waltz, and while it sounds very familiar, I can't seem to find the title or composer. It isn't the actual piece that plays in the episode clip [the music in the actual clip is children's music played on bassoon], but the video uploader hasn't...
  17. Classical Music Discussion
    Hello, I normally listen to waltzes and Mozart as I like happy and motivating music but lately I find myself without much option. I have a few Strauss, Mozart and Tchaikovsky albums but I now need new quality material. I'm getting rid of material from Chopin and Bartok for example as they tend...

    A short piece, but a lot of drama in every chord: Brahms's Waltz in A-Flat Major
  19. Classical Music Discussion
    Is it just me or does Nino Rota's Godfather Waltz sound a lot like the clarinet opening to Sibelius's First Symphony? Tell me if you think the two pieces sound alike.
