Tchaikovsky?

No, not Tchaikovsky, from a later period

Very well known for something, but not for symphonies.

Kurt Weill - not well known enough?

Funny you guess Weill, I almost used something by him, this composer was older than Weill and influenced him somewhat

Not confident really. It could be one of R.Strauss' early symphonies? He wrote 2 I believe, I am correct I am not sure which one it is from. This is challenging! Strauss is one of my absolute favourites, but I do not know his earlier works that well.

I'm afraid no one has gotten it yet....

more clues: the composer is not Russian.

This piece is not as well known as another symphony by the same composer. But that better known symphony is not what makes the composer famous.

He is famous for several works, but also for something....else...!

PS: if you listen to the clip again, you'll hear that it's characteristic of the composer in some ways, if not in all ways  ;D

Nope, I listened to the first Strauss symphony quite a lot when I was the age that he was when he wrote it (16?) and it's very, very conservative. It's from 1880 but sounds 25 years older, at least!

Holy crap; I don't even have a ripping program.......I'm an old fashioned collector. Anybody else able and willing?

Really confused by some of the guesses. This was so decidedly atonally influenced that my first thought was the 2nd Vienna school on my initial listen a couple of minutes ago.

Yes, it's a nice work. Schoenberg is a wonderful composer in just about every way.

okay, I've waited a bit, someone may know this or guess it in a the same time.  If not, it's very pretty.
