Quiz: Mystery scores

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

How about this: I make two lists, one of links to scores, as before, one of links to clues so that they're easy to find, and I try my best to put both lists somewhere on every page of the thread, with the latest being the most recently updated? It's worth a shot, anyway.

Excellent suggestion, although every page would perhaps be overkill. Say every 3 pages or so...

And good morning to you, too, btw! I just downloaded Janacek and listened to the famous track #13 - fascinating music...

(I'll have to do some writing today, so I won't be present all the time...)

That's what I was trying to do anyway!

I've got some new ones ready to go right now, but that wouldn't be fair on all those still asleep, so I'll leave them until tonight.

Straight for the 'erotic interlude', hey? That's the melomane's equivalent of skipping the foreplay, Johan, you know that don't you? 

(You missed some of the most ravishing stuff, too, but I'm sure I don't need to tell you that - save that treat for later, as a reward if you get some good writing done)

Janacek didn't mind.

And - yes, I'll treat myself to 'some of the most ravishing stuff' later today...

(And now lunch is in order...)

Just to give some prior warning, so that we can start with a flurry of activity (  ), I will post my first 10 scores of this new session in about 2 hours when I finally get home. An early clue: all/most of them come from composers whose names start with letters at the arse end of the alphabet (as that was the folder I was looking in!)

I am not a great fan of football, but the Dutch are playing the Italians in half an hour, and my little girl ( 8 years old ) is allowed to watch the first half. If it's enjoyable, it will be around 21.45 BST at the earliest I'll be able to see what you have had in store for us...

The 'arse end', so - S, T et cetera?

[lukeottevanger]

OK, here we go, guys. Seconds out, ding ding....

Remember, all composers with names beginning in the latter end of the alphabet.

One composer is represented more than once over the course of this set of 10; some of these composers are very well known, some much less so. One is very hard, and yet very nearly easy.

First four: LO 293, 294, 295, 296

[lukeottevanger]

LO 297, 298, 299, 300

[karlhenning]

296 is from (or refers to) Die Meistersinger

[lukeottevanger]

Yes, it does, Karl....

LO 301, 302

[(poco) Sforzando]

296 is from (or refers to) Die Meistersinger

A pretty literal piano arrangement of the Prize Song, without Lisztian flourishes.

[lukeottevanger]

Yes, Sforzando, that's right.

And to set us off with a new list....does this layout suit everyone?

I think it's a nice idea to keep links to all the old lists at the top of this new one still, so that one has relatively quick access to all the scores in this thread's history should one want it.

First list, in two parts:
Part one
and
Part two

Second list (one long part)

New list:

Set by Luke
293 - Tchaikovsky - Festival Overture on the Danish National Anthem - (Sforzando)
294 - ? -
295 - ? -
296 - ? -
297 - ? -
298 - ? -
299 - ? -
300 - ? -
301 - ? -
302 - ? -


Links to clues:
First basic clues to LO 293-302

[(poco) Sforzando]

But who would have done such a thing? Not sure.

293 could be Tchaikovsky.

[karlhenning]

But who would have done such a thing? Not sure.

293 could be Tchaikovsky.

Although in the Library of Congress transliteration, he would be disqualified 

[lukeottevanger]

But who would have done such a thing? Not sure.

Who would have done such a thing indeed.

293 could be Tchaikovsky.

Nice one - it is!

[(poco) Sforzando]

Who would have done such a thing indeed.

Nice one - it is!

Without checking any further, I'm going to guess it could be that Overture on Danish Themes.

[lukeottevanger]

That's not quite the title, but you are thinking of the correct work, I think. Sforzando is con fuoco tonight 

[(poco) Sforzando]

Festival Overture on the Danish National Anthem. I heard it once and tried to forget it for eternity.

And I will be out of commission for about an hour or two....

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

The funny thing is - I know the melody in 293 - it's "Kong Christian stod ved hojen Mast", commonly regarded as the second Danish national anthem. But as Sforzando says, it's part of an orchestral work I don't know...

[lukeottevanger]

Festival Overture on the Danish National Anthem. I heard it once and tried to forget it for eternity.

Sorry to reawaken the horror, then. That's the correct title, of course.
