When I heard it, I thought of _Pictures at an Exhibition_ too. Maybe it’s some other Mussorgsky? ---

No idea but that tool is AWESOME. I use MuseScore which gives you a nice traditional, playable score and lets you share it, but for quick-and-dirty tune creation/sharing like you did here, this is miles easier. Wow, thanks. > **[Sequence #3526360](https://onlinesequencer.net/3526360)** > > OnlineSequencer.net is an online music sequencer. Make tunes in your browser and share them with friends! ---

It sounds a bit to me like a snippet of Bach’s “Air On The G String.” ---

It vaguely sorta reminds me of a couple of tunes: [Angel of Music](https://youtu.be/dzL6M1n-QGA) [In a Persian Market](https://youtu.be/YVzLc7syPkA?t=73) ---

The clip in the OP is from the second section of the suite from Stravinsky’s _The Firebird_. [Stravinsky | The Firebird (1919 Suite) | Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgnzOLzShx8&t=290s) ---

It seems i was mixing 2 sections the first half from [here](https://youtu.be/aeZxK-daJfc?t=105) and the second half from [here](https://youtu.be/aeZxK-daJfc?t=61). But they’re both from the same piece, so no foul !
