Philidor the chessplayer ("pawns are the soul of chess")!

I've always been curious about his music, but never got around to listening...

 

His abilities as a composer were on the same level of excellence as his competence as a chess player. He just wasn't performed beacuse he was classified an amateur due to his great reputation as chess expert. Whoever actually played his music was impressed. Not to be confused with Francois André Philidor.

Got this after seeing a post by Jim S. I like it! Practically a quintessential "Brooklyn Academy of Music" piece.
