Quiz: Mystery scores

[lukeottevanger]

Hey - welcome to the best thread on GMG 

And that's a good way to start - not the right piece, but the right composer, one hardly associated with solo piano music. To be honest, I'm not sure if the piece will be that easy to find, so let me give another little clue: you were also correct to the extent that the piece comes from a set entitled [integer] [noun]

[Guido]

I just posted a sweet video of Arvo Part's cello concerto on the video board which I am sure all the connoisseurs on this thread will enjoy watching!

[lukeottevanger]

Connoisseurs? Where?

[lukeottevanger]

Correct! Did you also identify which of the four 'traumatics' my sample is taken from? (I assume that, like me, you were able to find the whole score, so this shouldn't be a problem)

No - I only found a sample page so far.

Might as well give it to you anyway - it's called Parlor Lizard 

[(poco) Sforzando]

Had it on the tip of my tongue.

[lukeottevanger]

Oh sorry - I should have given you longer 

[Chrone]

D'Oh! Do I get partial credit for coming up with the composer?

[(poco) Sforzando]

D'Oh! Do I get partial credit for coming up with the composer?

I certainly don't see why not. I couldn't have done my part without you.

[lukeottevanger]

You did get credit - your name was on the list as having identified the composer - until Sforzando stole it from you! It's a tough old, rugged existence here on the wilds of the mystery scores thread   - always someone on the lookout to steal your discovery and get the credit! But you have the moral victory here!

But keep on guessing - and, btw, if you have any scores you'd like to plague us with, please do so. I don't have any to guess at the moment

OK, then. Here's something instrument-free. Pay attention to the harmonization (or not):

[Chrone]

And another (and as with the previous: no Googling the text!) 

[Guido]

Here's some more then Luke to feed your insatiable thirst! Once exams are over I will certainly go to the UL and take pictures of some nice scores for you to ponder! Most of the following ones I chose just because I like what they look like on the page.

and two more

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

OK, then. Here's something instrument-free. Pay attention to the harmonization (or not):

A sort of proto-Ives. A church hymn with a twist...

[lukeottevanger]

Guido 39 - Ravel, left hand concerto (cadenza)

Guido 38 - taking the piss, slightly -Janacek - Violin Sonata

Guido 36 - looks like a piece of Piazzolla

Guido 40 - Bartok, Solo Violin Sonata

[Guido]

You are right on everything! Didn't choose these ones to be particularly difficult as I say... they're just beautiful!

[lukeottevanger]

It's provided me with a good excuse to listen to all my Piazzolla discs.
