Trying to ID this peice of classical


I'm trying to identify the start of this track by Italian Prog band Quella Vecchia Locanda. I know it and it sounds like Schubert to me but I just cannot remember what the original piece is. Can anyone ID it for me - thanks

This is definitely familiar. Its going to take a while to place it. It will come to me eventually.
This is not Vivaldi. My first thought was Schubert, maybe LvB. Very, very, very familiar.
What do I win? Its Brahms! Piano trio in B major Opus 8. 2nd movement Scherzo!
Almarg, I would have bet good money it was one of Schubert's chamber works. Fortunately, it didn't take long to scan through his 2 trios, and once I ruled out LvB, Brahms was my next stop. I listen to the Schubert, LvB, and Brahms piano trios the most, and that piece was so familiar it had to be one of those three.

I have to say I prefer the Floristan Trio account to the youtube version.
