I had my hopes up....but I don't think so.
I downloaded a midi of that track - I rather like it so will check out
Shostakovich a bit more closely.
Thanks for trying (and thanks to everyone who tried in this rather old
thread).
The tune I am thining of is currently being used in the UK in TV ads for
Stakeholder savings (a govt-sponsored set of savings schemes).
I have looked on the usual 'music in adverts' sites but none have it
listed :(
