Musical Memory

[tysolna]

It's weird, when you hear something and you know you know it, but you have no idea where you know it from or why you know it. I've tuned into BBC Radio 3, and there's a piece of classical music playing that I think I recognize, but the composer and name don't ring a bell. It's Tableaux de Provence by someone called Paule Maurice, a piece for saxophone and orchestra. Maybe I've heard it years ago in a concert somewhere, because these days, something as strange as saxophone and orchestra should lodge itself in my mind. Or maybe it just reminds me of some movie soundtrack.
The Kreisler piece, however, I know. I was able to play it twenty years ago.

edited to add: And now they're playing Der Rosenkavalier. I love BBC 3.

edited to add: Tchaikovsky, Violin Concerto in D, Op 35. I'm in heaven. Thank you, BBC 3.
Oh, and Vadim Repin beats Anne-Sophie Mutter hands-down.

Uh, well - I know them all. ;) I love Dvorak's Ninth, in fact, the end always makes me tear up a little.
And Mussorgsky rocks. *nods*
Thanks for the recommendations, anway! :)
