![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/Nc9QpbG.png) Hint: An extremely popular piece by an extremely popular composer. Have fun! Pathetique! End of first movement! Here's a chamber piece which most people might recognize: ![[Linked Image]](http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p1/ashurasbrother/FranckSonata.png) Especially when the name of the piece is in the filename for the excerpt. You cheated! How evil of you!  Okay, guess mine. The filename will reveal nothing.

Yes, I made sure I made up my own filename. It's a common thing to forget in little quizzes like this.

Yes, the Franck sonata was easy, especially with your "hint" in your sig line!
Professional pianist and piano teacher.

So does mine! Clefs are treble and bass, key is 3 sharps (not giving away whether it's major or minor! ).

My quiz has clefs and key. And it is by a composer who was a very early Steinway artist, and better known for his operas. But this one is a piano piece on a railway theme, with the addition of some bizarre morbidity.

BDB is correct. But it's not Arthur Sullivan.
I didn't know he was a Steinway artist.
Another hint: The composer was Italian.

And his birthday comes no more than every 4 years.

My quiz has clefs and key. Forget about the fat, food-loving early 19th century Italian more noted for his operas - which he suddenly, inexplicably stopped composing at age 37. This has to be post-Romantic with such a complex harmonic structure! Wow! Cheers!

Sounds like one of the Péchés de vieillesse.
I seem to remember a Dutch TV (or was it radio?) quiz that someone posted here a few years ago. The melody sounded like the theme from Saint-Saëns's Clarinet Sonata (I).....
If music be the food of love, play on!
