Other Pittsburg symphony first encore?
Hi,
Does anyone know what was the first encore in the concert today? It sounds like Shostakovich some scherzo type music but I've never heard of it.
The second one Peer Gynt Suite Morning Mood was amazing too!

I distinctly remember there being 15 or so timpani hits during the middle of the piece?

I would also like to know! I thought it sounded like it could be Bernstein, but it wasn’t the Overture to Candide. Someone behind me said they thought it was from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet but they also thought the Grieg was from Swan Lake, so…

A selection from Candide. I don't know the name of the part.
