I love the intensity of this piece. It's the finale of the William Tell Overture.
Here's a few fun tidbits about the composer, Gioachino Antonio Rossini:
- He was born on Leap Day, 1792!
- Born in Italy to a family of musicians.
- At six years old he joined his father's band and played the triangle.
- At ten years old he started composing music and was often asked to play the piano and sing at church.
