Quiz: Mystery scores

[Maciek]

MM 93
I was delighted to happen upon this earlier today. As unexceptional as it may look this one should actually be extremely easy to guess for anyone who has ever heard the piece. (Johan? I know one Johan on this board certainly has.)

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Did someone call me?

Szymanski? Five pieces for string quartet, 4th movement?

[Maciek]

That's the whole catch: I mean the other Johan, the one who doesn't ever drop by here, at least I don't think so.

The composer is not Polish, BTW. (I hope Luke doesn't ban me from the game for that. )

You wily, sneaky... no, I won't employ any substantive (which would be inadequate in any case)!

But is it Vasks?

[greg]

Thanks for the welcomes! I know I should use more English and this forum is perfect place for that. I'll try to find some ways to contribute.

Please do!

I agree. Btw, if the rest of your posts are as well written as your first two, we won't have to worry about reading "clumsy" English.

[Maciek]

Ha, ha. No, not Vasks either...

Greg, what a fetching self-portrait.

Dang! Well, I'm seeing the other Johan tonight (and fellow GMG member Vandermolen - yes, an historic meeting!) I'll mention your post...

[Maciek]

an historic meeting!

...of the school committee...??

Sheesh, as I said in the Avatar, it's my girlfriend who I met at the graveyard as she was digging herself out of a grave.

I changed it now, because I was starting to feel sick already.

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

...of the school committee...??

Yes, matters of grave import were discussed, while eating pizza and drinking wine... It was a resounding success!

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Consider this thread dead - Luke has gone (see here: http://www.good-music-guide.com/community/index.php/topic,220.msg241416/topicseen.html#msg241416).

Well, Luke was clearly the target of one of M's twitting rampages;  and who can fault Luke for (a) not needing such boorish confrontation, and (b) preferring the company of his family?

I respect Luke's decision. But I'm sorry to see him go.

[Maciek]

Well, we could try to keep it going (at a moderate pace) in the hopes that, when the air clears (when?), he might come back...

When M clears off, you mean. I don't see Luke coming back. A pity. This is a sad day, after such a lovely one yesterday (see members meeting face-to-face thread).

[Guido]

Agreed. Horrible news.

[greg]

When M clears off, you mean.

That would be....... hm, never.
Luke did make a good point. I always find it, funny, too....... I'm sure we're all jealous that people may know stuff we don't, but he must be really jealous of Luke's knowledge- look at the vast difference in the number of scores guessed in this thread. As Luke said, M hardly ever talks about chamber music, not to mention modern composers- he doesn't compose, and only plays one instrument (probably couldn't even play piano, who knows). Anyone who can play piano AND write orchestral scores has a serious amount of insight into music in general compared to someone who just plays bass in an orchestra.

But there's just so many people that know so much that he doesn't know, that having such an attitude is ridiculous and he should be embarrassed about it.

(i wanted to post that on the other thread but it was locked).

M is just - what he terms - 'honest'. Embarrassment will never be his middle name. I am very sorry Luke did him the unnecessary and highly undeserved honour of quitting.

We should keep count....... this might be the 4th or 5th poster?........

[ezodisy]

That is really too bad, I hope Luke comes back and soon too. No one else can write about Chopin (or pretty much anyone or anything else) like he can

However I would never want to see M leave either. In fact I wouldn't even want to see Harry leave. All members should just take it easy and put differences aside once walking away from the computer -- too many of these internet arguments tend to linger after stepping away from the keyboard. Anyway, Luke, if you're reading this, please do return some time (soon), it won't be the same without you.
