Bit of a long shot, but I hope someone can help me here - anyone know the name of the music used as the Wingstheme music? I think it’s a Schubert piece, but I’d really like to know which… it’s cool 😉

Apparently, it’s the fourth movement of Schubert’s piano sonata D.959. I don’t know what a movement is in this context, what distinguishes a sonata from any old ditty or what D.959 stands for, but there you go anyway.

Many thanks! I found it on [www.prs.net](http://www.prs.net) (classical archives), in case anyone else is interested (er you never know) it’s piano sonata 20 in A, Rondo.

(I think the D959 is just the indexing system he used, these prolific guys all had systems going, necessity I guess)
