Quiz: Mystery scores

MM 61 - guessed by Luke (another piece from his awe-inspiringly wide repertoire )

[Maciek]

MM 62 - guessed by Luke

[Maciek]

MM 63 - guessed by Luke

[Maciek]

MM 64 - guessed by Luke

[Maciek]

And the last one (for now :)

MM 65 -guessed by Luke



I see there's "someone watching"! Who are you, dear "Hidden"?

[lukeottevanger]

These are tricky little blighters, Maciek! The only one I know without research is 61, which is a piece I have played quite a lot, Szymanowski's Masques op 34, last movement (a Polish composer, believe it or not). The others I am going to enjoy investigating further.

[lukeottevanger]

Ooh, hang on, 65 looks familiar....

[lukeottevanger]

aah, but 62 is one I know too - the 3rd of Szymanowkski's 4 Etudes op 4.

I sense a theme....

[lukeottevanger]

64 - third movement, Stabat Mater (Szymanowski)

[lukeottevanger]

60 is the end of the Third Symphony by you-know-who (these are some of my favourite pieces, Maciek, thank you - why did I think they were so hard to start with!?)

[lukeottevanger]

58 - Demeter (Karol S)

[lukeottevanger]

63 - his 2nd Violin Concerto, first movement

[lukeottevanger]

And 65, which I was right to feel was familiar, is from KS's First Violin Concerto (nearish the start of the scherzando central portion)

[lukeottevanger]

I'll take an educated stab at 59 being the second of the Four Polish Dances by that Polish bloke Shimmer-something - the Krakowiak. This one I don't know, but it seems quite likely.

[lukeottevanger]

Likewise 56 looks very much like a Szymanowski Mazurka, but it isn't one of the op 50 set (which I have in score) so it is quite likely to be one of the two op 62 ones.

[lukeottevanger]

The remaining one - no 57 - hurts my eyes to look at at this time of night, so I'll leave it until I am fresher, unless someone else gets it first. There are plenty of possible Szymanowski candidates left, so  won't bother hazarding a guess.

[Maciek]

He does it again!

Except for no. 56 all your guesses are correct.

Perhaps this might serve as some sort of clue: The two remaining ones - 56 and 57 - were never published during the composer's lifetime. No. 57 is very closely linked to no. 58.

60 is the end of the Third Symphony by you-know-who (these are some of my favourite pieces, Maciek, thank you - why did I think they were so hard to start with!?)

Well, I actually tried to choose sections which wouldn't look too obvious but which would be characteristic enough of the pieces - I take it this means I managed to pull that off.

And since we're apparently alone in the room ( ) I might as well add: you're welcome, I'm glad you liked them.

Your new clues look very helpful, btw, but I don't have time to look properly at the moment. Maybe someone else could play along
