Yes, I believe you are thinking of the third movement of either the first or 
second piano concerto (can't recall which at the moment). It is often used in 
musical schools to demonstrate how the ol boy used syncopated rhythm in his 
own time; even sounds a bit like a South American rhythm to me.

a listener called me during my show to ask if I knew the Beethoven 
composition that had a particularly distinctive "swing" rhythm or 
syncopation to it. He said he had heard it a few years ago on another 
station but did not catch the name. 
 
I forgot to ask him if this was a piano solo, concerto, or full 
orchestral piece but my knowledge of Beethoven is somewhat limited - I 
hope at least one of you DJML folks might know what he was on about.&nbsp; I 
seem to recall that this topic was on the list a few years ago but I 
did not find anything when I searched my old folders. 
 
Any Ideas? 
 
TIA
