Could it be from the Busoni piano concerto?

It's a "WMA" file and you need Windows Media Player. If I can get it to work myself (and if Amfortas is wrong), I'll upload an MP3.

Shouldn't it play right on the 4shared site? It did for me

It played for you because your computer can play WMA (Windows Media Audio) files - Cato's can't so I made an MP3 for him. :)

Yes, it works!

Thank you!  Usually the website has worked.

Anyway, no, it is not from the Busoni concerto.

Thanks, Brian, for stepping in to help.  The date is a little after the Busoni concerto, and a full orchestra is needed.

There seems to be some "circus music" aspect in the excerpt, along with the off-kilter rhythms.

So I am thinking of some sort of enfant terrible, but "a few years after the Busoni" does not ring any special bells.

I'm just going on the clue about the year. The Busoni was 1904, so I've guessed concerti from the following few years. Maybe it's not a piano concerto? But what else could it be?. Your Enfant Terrible makes me think of Antheil, but his piano concerti are from the 1920s

I have heard one of Antheil's concertos and this excerpt would not seem to be in his style.  And yes, the 1920's would seem to be too late.

pre-war, and the composer is the pianist, and I haven't mastered the art of clipping so I'll post this bit from the score:

It's a clue, from the mystery piece.    I haven't mastered the clipping part from the audio files.

no offence taken,  and I'll add that there is a vibraphone to be heard in the clip, but that's probably no help.

So now we know the composer is (probably) German/Austrian!
