Sadly I think it only takes movies and photos, else yeah that would be easier. :-\  FYI I'm sure there are other programs out there, I chose Audacity for a how to just because I know it, and it seems pretty straight forward to use.

I'm having trouble. I got the music imported into Audacity but can't yet figure out how to snip it to make a short clip. As a last resort I'll read the directions but, you know, I'm a man and it really will be the last resort  ;D

Select an area of the "project" and ctrl-X; do that around the bit you wish to use, and export the entire project as an mp3 file.

Cor, directions? I didn't know there were any, but I shouldn't have expected your worst enemy to suggest you'd resort to them, Sarge ; )

Highlight the section you want and go File > Save highlighted/selection to mp3, or something or other.

You will need the LAME exe (if you don't have it), which can be got from here (unzip the whole thing into a folder in prog files or something), and when you try saving it, it should ask you to direct Audacity towards where it is.

I've got the file snipped now but yeah, I need LAME. Getting it now (under lots of pressure here...Mrs. Rock wants to be fed soon!  ;D )

The latest build of lame won't work with audacity (well at least for me), if that fails you should follow that get lame here button when you try to export to mp3.

It worked for me. I've got the clip now on my desktop. I just need to upload it somewhere.

If it's less than 500kb you can attach it, yes?

DavidW

And you can also try 4shared it seems pretty easy.  If more people like that dropbox that Brian uses I'll be happy to change the instructions. :)

Opus106

It's a conservatory piece by Wagner. Or Rott. ;D

Mahler's lost concerto! ;D  If it turns out to be Richard Strauss I'll have to re-examine my musical tastes. :o

Good guess...especially the Rott. I was seriously considering a Rott piece...but no, I went with something else.

You're getting warmer  ;)  I have to go feed Mrs. Rock now. I'll check back in about 20 minutes to see if we have a winner.

Drasko

Well I'm going to throw in my vote for Bohme's trumpet concerto.  At least it sounds like late romantic or early 20th century trumpet concerto.

Lethevich

I so thought it was Strauss until I remembered despite his various wind concertos, he had none for this instrument. It could be a solo in one of Pfitzner's works - it sounds in that kind of soundworld, although Drasko's Schmidt sounds plausable too - it doesn't have the dramatic edge that a concerto implies, it could easily fit into a symphony.
