Possibly one of the most famous and well-known tunes from all of classical music. An awesome creation from Prokofiev, composed in 1935. This section has been used in all manner of drama productions and adverts, latterly used by The Apprentice on TV.

I have chosen the live recording by Riccardo Muti with the Chicago SO. They have captured a wonderful sound: play it loud!

This is another cracking (live) version.

Like the main, well known riff
