Title: ID this piece? (Audio inside)

So, I tried to recreate this snippet of a piece that I am trying to ID.  I am hoping someone on here will recognize the phrase and be able to point me to the piece so I can listen to it, it was really, really nice. 

I want to guess and say that I heard it off of a CD containing Sibelius and Grieg, but I couldn't say for sure.  It could totally not be them...

The piece opens up slower, and then moves into this sweeping phrase.  This is the first half of the phrase, the latter part I don't recall clearly enough to be able to recreate it.

Can anyone help?

It's driving me a little bit crazy.

Your snippet's too short for me, but it does sound like Grieg.

Listen to everything by Grieg and see for yourself. It won't take that long, and it'll be fun.

Listen to everything by Sibelius, too. That will take a bit longer, and it'll be fun. Won't help you with your search, but by that time, you won't care any more.
