The Adagio is your guess?

Correct! - It doesn't look much like an Adagio, does it? Hence the previous guesses, I suppose.

Without tempo marking, I assumed Allegro.

The rest of yours? Well, I've done 5, so it's time somebody else had a crack at 'em!

Well, I've gotten 5-6 of your last set too!

I'll pat your back if you pat mine!

(poco) Sforzando

First clue: a composer can be used more than once, no?
"I don't know what sforzando means, though it clearly means something."

Guido

This is an outrage! One I could actually get faster than a Beethoven addict, and he just happens to jump in at the last minute after guessing the only piece I hadn't mentioned before I could get back from getting my exam results. I'll just console myself with my 2.1(!)

(Sort of criminal that I got a 2.1 given the miniscule amount of revision that I did (10 minutes for a Philosophy exam!), but maybe I'm just naturally brilliant. Yes that has to be it.)

;D ;D ;D

Now, now. There's one of mine that should be right up your street. Better yet if there were two of you.

Guido

Yeah... I've been trying to work it out, but have had no luck yet. I need inspiration!

Congrats on the 2.1, Guido! That's what I got in my first year, though only 0.25% off a First [/i] (you are still in your first year, aren't you? Time travels in strange ways out here in Norfolk....).

This is a cryptic clue about the cello duet one, I presume! I haven't been able to track it down yet either. American?

lukeottevanger

I reckon that Et vitam venturi Mass setting is the Puccini Messa di Gloria....

Cheers Luke! I'm in my second year.

Time has flown by... at least I am doing a 4 year course so I have a lot of time left. It was more than a year and a half ago when we had disagreements over which of the Walton concertos was best!

That is a cryptic clue indeed, and probably won't help in the slightest. This one is really pretty obscure. I know very little about the composer, but he has taught recently in American universities (and may still). His name sounds Anglo, but could be German. The title of the piece, however (and of the suite from which it is taken), is in another familiar language.

Good luck, and it is a distinct pleasure to know that some of mine are stumping you. Several of the unguessed ones are from very well-known composers (i.e., far better known than Boris Blacher, etc.).

...but less well known than Flothuis or Richard Hoffmann, is that what you are saying?  ;D ;)

Still, glad you eventually identified the piece by that German geezer Batehovun, or whatever he's called.   >:D ;D ;)

Great.....  :-\

A little taste of thy own medicine...

But while Europe sleeps, a few more from me - a mixture of the ridiculously easy, the reasonably challenging, and the nearly impossible.
"I don't know what sforzando means, though it clearly means something."

(poco) Sforzando

Those last few shouldn't be too bad. Three more:
"I don't know what sforzando means, though it clearly means something."

(poco) Sforzando

Remember, you can click the image to enlarge it. (On my monitor, some of those clips give a new meaning to the phrase, "miniature score.")
"I don't know what sforzando means, though it clearly means something."

(poco) Sforzando

Those last three shouldn't be too hard at all. More:
"I don't know what sforzando means, though it clearly means something."
