Will give you a longer clip when I get home. It's classical, and for those in the UK, think Morecambe and Wise with Andy Preview...

It is a piano concerto Mad, but not Grieg... Longer clip added

I think it might be a piano concerto by Grieg. I could confirm it if I could find my Finlandia album.
Oops! Never mind!

OK. Final Attempt : Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat Minor {I had to dig through all my ancient sheet music - so I hope I found the right one this time ]

It was indeed that nice Mr Tchaikovsky, Mad . Remember my father playing Arthur Rubenstein's version on a 12" 78 rpm record on a wind-uo gramaphone... Listened to Griegs piano concerto again - see why it could be mistaken for Tchaikovsky

Just out of interest, Urban Worrier, do you have a link to Morecamb and Wise with Andre Previn and the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto ??
All I can find is the one where the Grieg is played ....

I should have known it was Tchaikovsky! I have a cassette tape of it that I haven't listened to in umteen years. Thanks for easing my mind, Mad!

I should have known also, LadyKestrel …. having even played parts of it myself in the very long ago dim and distant past The “Morecamb and Wise” clue initially sent me down the wrong path !! ( I don’t remember Tchaikovsky ever being featured on their show. ) EDIT : Thanks, Urban Worrier.
