Quiz: Mystery scores

[lukeottevanger]

Yes - you were right on those.And the list is updated now too.

Was the Liszt correct, then? I could go and get the precise title if I'm wrong, but frankly, I want to go to bed!

[lukeottevanger]

One last guess - the last one: is it from a sonata by Clementi? op 40/2?

[lukeottevanger]

Humour me - 43 - Handel's Saul?

(or is it Dzorelashvili's Corkin? [shudder])

[lukeottevanger]

Shouldn't have even said that. I'm going to have nightmares now. Goodnight, everyone! 

[Chrone]

Those are always the hardest. Looks like a setting of the Cries of London, though I don't know by whom.

Yep. Orlando Gibbons. You're 2 for 2 on mine. Good jorb.

[lukeottevanger]

Should have made us sweat on the composer of that one 

I know, I know, I said I was going to bed..... 

[(poco) Sforzando]

Yes - you were right on those.And the list is updated now too.

Was the Liszt correct, then? I could go and get the precise title if I'm wrong, but frankly, I want to go to bed!

Yes, hardly matters which - just one of those little folk songs.

[Chrone]

Sweat away!

[Mark G. Simon]

Chrone3 = Scott Joplin's Treemonisha?

(I seem to remember there's a singing bear in there)

[(poco) Sforzando]

Chrone3 = Scott Joplin's Treemonisha?

(I seem to remember there's a singing bear in there)

I have a copy of that I've barely glanced at, and you are 100% correct.

[(poco) Sforzando]

One last guess - the last one: is it from a sonata by Clementi? op 40/2?

Muzio's B minor it is.

[(poco) Sforzando]

Humour me - 43 - Handel's Saul?

(or is it Dzorelashvili's Corkin? [shudder])

Dzorelashvili and Corkin notwithstanding, there is some corking good music in Handel's Saul. Please identify the exact passage.

[lukeottevanger]

Quite an influx of new scores recently    so the list again. Clue to all but the last 12 of mine are on page 120. There are still some quite early ones, back to no 215, for which the composer but not the piece has been found.

Old list:
part one
and
part two

[lukeottevanger]

But here are some more to add to the fun:

LO 265, 266

[lukeottevanger]

LO 267, 268

I've kept these together because they come from similar pieces; however, one is much less typical of our idea of its composer than the other

[lukeottevanger]

LO 269 and 269b

This is only one piece, one answer required. But I've given two pages 1) because it is such a wonderful masterpiece and 2) because that may make it easier. Both pages contain self-quotations of earlier, better-known works.

[lukeottevanger]

Two more:

LO 270, 271

[(poco) Sforzando]

270 looks like the same typography as in a lot of the Sikorski Shostakovich scores, but it hardly looks like Shostakovich. A piano concerto of course.

We still have a lot of yours we can't figure out from weeks ago!

[lukeottevanger]

270 - yes, a piano concerto, and correct nationality.

(edit - genre, nationality and key - ought to help narrow it down!)


Sfz 45 - this is a complete guess, as to my shame I haven't heard this piece, nor do I have a score to it - Barraque's piano sonata?
