The ambient piano song

[dvow]

I finally got around to finding the source of one of three piano fragments. One example breaks apart and fragments so much, I am not sure if I can find the original piece. One fragment didn't take very long to find though. It's from the 2nd movement of Beethoven's Les adieux sonata.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJGWhSgld4w Between 1:45 and 2:05 of where the fragment is from. It doesn't sound exactly the same, since whoever played the fragment in the game played the bass very lightly, and used an incredible amount of pedal for the first half, which obscures a lot. He likely did this to make it sound more distant and mysterious.

For proof, go into Amnesia the dark descent\sounds\general, and select general_piano03.ogg. If you can't play it, get a player that can play .ogg files, like foobar2000. There are also two other fragments. The first is some Baroque piece played on a harpsichord that I have zero idea of the source, and the second I am just lost on, but it does sound familiar somehow.

I am nearly 100% sure that all three fragments are taken from larger works by composers popular during and before the period in which the game is based. The one that's all messed up, and ends in a random chord, likely sounds MUCH better in its original form; that's why it's bugging me.
