    I need help identifying the opening compostion in this video. My guess is Tjajkovskij, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help me out? Nik?

    That's by Alexander Borodin. It's the nocture from the opera Prince Igor, also famously included in the set of Polovetsian Dances taken from that opera.

    the whole set of Polovetsian dances is about 12 minutes long, but I found a track of just that theme for sale in the iTunes store.
