OT -- Puzzled by piano music

[DavidO]

Sorry for posting off topic, but I figured the members here could help me identify this music from the 1941 film "The Little Foxes," played by one of the characters.

I posted an MP3 snippet of it here:

Anyone recognize it?

[Peter]

It is the piece entitled 'Chopin' from Schumann's Carnaval Op.9.

[Chris]

Ah, I remember that piece from piano lessons!

It is the piece entitled 'Chopin' from Schumann's Carnaval Op.9.

Thank you, gent! You know, as I was listening to it, I was thinking, "Is that Chopin?" Sure enough, it is --- sort of!

btw, I found a complete recording of the "Carnaval" on the Web here:

The MP3 file is just under 27 MB.

As you can see, this page also has some Ludwig goodies, including the 3rd & 6th symphonies & the Kreutzer violin sonata.
