I've been trying to figure it out for a while. It's not coming to me. I guarantee someone will know this. http://picosong.com/qf79/

Depends on how accurately you played it - could it possibly be La fille aux cheveux de lin (Debussy preludes bk1) ?

But seriously folks....  ....that occurred to me too. It didn't sound like it was exactly it, but the same melodic figure. Hence, as Curra said: Depends on how accurately you played it.

I'm thinking late Liszt. That kind of repetitive pattern with the augmented chords would be very much like one of his late works along the lines of Berceuse or Lugubre Gondola.

Well, I wonder if there is a hint in the URL …. puck.
It's not Debussy's Dance de Puck, and it's not Grieg's Lyric Piece version either. Who else wrote about the nasty little sprite, and wrote it lento?

Where did you find this recording? If anything, post a comment to the person who posted this and they should be able to tell you.

Let's see what Mark and his Dictionary of Musical Themes say. In that case, where was the source you heard it from, JoelW? Is it possible it is a modern composition, perhaps written specifically for whatever context you heard it in? I tried it on Sound Hound just for kicks and it found no matches (not surprising).

That is correct. Also, I figured it out while I was half-awake this morning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofRQPCIYtq8

So just to be precise, that is the Impromptu from Three Little Oddities.

Or Sittin' on a Log Pettin' My Dog?

"Three Little Oddities" does have some Debussy influences...

Aside from the novelty piano pieces there is a lot of nice stuff that he wrote, much of which makes good study material. Fortunately, pretty much his complete works been published in one volume from Belwin Mills. It might still be available somewhere.
