Quiz: Mystery scores

[Joe_Campbell]

Some people are quite passionate about the discussions they have on this board. As such, when M comes in and writes it off with an ill-informed dismissal coupled with a typical ad hominim, I can understand how that can be taxing.

[M forever]

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.

Sorry to have to disappoint you once again, but M actually plays the piano, used to play the horn, too, when he was younger, and took very extensive and intensive classes in musical analysis and theory at the music academy, and, it gets even worse, even in composition and, as if that wasn't enough bad news, M actually wrote a number of pieces (for chamber ensembles of various kinds and string orchestra) which were performed with quite a bit of success back then.

What a great person you are.

Real experience doesn't have to be constantly proclaimed.

True, but in that instance he was merely responding to and correcting Greg's assumptions.

Now in my opinion, this act of censorship has gone way too far. Please explain to me why I was so insulted by this:

The reason I never comment much about musical fields outside orchestral music is not that I am not interested in or don't know these fields, but that I think my comments can not be interesting for other people to read unless there is a lot of personal experience and substance behind them. Most of my own personal experience is with orchestral music and its performance and performance styles, naturally, so I restrict my contributions mostly to this area. Unlike a lot of other people here, I do not think that I have to blabla about anything and everything.

This directly addresses an issue raised by Greg in regards to M and I think it would be informative for anyone on this board to read. Why was Greg's post not deleted if this was? All I ask of the moderators is to please refrain from bias and not to discriminate. I feel this is unfair censorship for M, regardless of your opinion on his posting history, and I believe all members should be treated equally.

[Maciek]

I believe all members should be treated equally.

Well, that's your personal opinion, and you're entitled to hold it, of course. But in fact, that is a matter for the owner of this place to decide. And he has no problem with the moderators not judging each post separately, but also taking a member's posting history into consideration.

This topic has veered so far from its subject (and into a hostile mood) that I'm temporarily locking it.

[Guido]

It's about time that we started this again.

And two more:

[Mark G. Simon]

First one is the Fauré Piano Trio in D minor, op. 120

[Guido]

Correct.

What a fine idea!

I've just been browsing this thread and it looks like a lot of fun! And inhabited only by gentlemen and scholars, too. I also saw that you had someone called Luke Ottevanger on it once (who sound likes a fascinating and deeply attractive human being, I must say) whose musical tastes, strangely, seem to chime precisely with mine. He also had a big score collection - as do I. And a love of musical detective games - as do I. In fact, whilst I'm here, this is my vague stab in the dark at those of Luke's which were left over when he left so abruptly (the git could at least have stuck around and given you the answers). A vague stab in the dark, as I say. But 100% correct, also:

380 - Claude Vivier - Orion

383 - Boulez - Figures, Doubles, Prisms

386 - Johan Ludwig Bach - Gott ist unser Zuversicht. Obviously.

387 - JC Bach, Clavier concerto in B flat. He writes at the bottom 'I, I made this. Isn't that beautiful?' Sweet.

388 - Lefanu - String Quartet no 2

389 - Daniel Lesur - Elegie for two guitars

390 - John McCabe - Flute Concerto

392 - Part - Credo. Another brilliant clue ignored by you all ('I believe I already gave you a partial clue about this one.') That Luke was a genius!

394 - Varese - Ameriques. Cool technique here which (IIRC) he also uses in Arcana. He did tend to recycle his ideas somewhat.

So, as I was saying - Luke's musical interests, as exhibited here, seem like a very clone of mine. I hope he won't mind then - I'm sure he won't, in fact - if, in giving my own score samples, I pick up where he left off  - i.e. with no 401..........

401 and 402:
In honour of a recent birthday, let's do the Hokey Cokey - because, as the song says, 'that's what Saul about.....'

[sul G]

A veritable smorgasbord of party food now - bear with me. Some of my own favourites may be apparent here....

403, 404, 405, 406

[sul G]

...or it would be a smorgasbord if I could post the next set. Won't do it for some reason...

[sul G]

(fifth time of trying....)

407, 408, 409, 410

[sul G]

That's better....

411, 412 and 412a (from the same set, but bonus points if you work out the homage in 412a), 413

[sul G]

(It's only letting me post if I do it in a different window each time - that's what it seems like, anyway. How
odd)

414, 415, 416, 417

[sul G]

418, 419, 420, 421

[sul G]

422, 423

[sul G]

424 (cheese course)

425 (dessert - I believe Luke once set one from this piece already)

That's it.
