Correct! And the piece being referred to in 412a is....?


Blimey, no! This isn't playable on a clavichord - range far too big, and a clavichord can sustain like that. Did you mean another one? No matter, none of them are Howells.

Have we already had it somewhere on this thread before? I remember there being a piece with massive notes before...

No sorry - I think its a hommage to Tchaikovsky with those huge chords at the beginning rising up like that being analogous to the first piano concerto?

WILD guess: is #414 Milhaud's Murder of a Great Chief of State?

Yes! My daughter loved it when I played the Kurtag alongside a CD of the Tchaikovsky au naturel...  ;D

That really is wild! How did you get there? It's not correct, unfortunately. This is certainly the most famous of the examples here - in fact, this particular page of the score is rather infamous. I'm pretty sure you all know it.

Has anyone guessed the Janacek (Moravian Folksongs) yet? (419)

(I really shouldn't be doing this, I don't have time! :o)

Evidently you do, and that's the right answer. It was only what it looked like, really! I'd never want to trick you, would I...

I've just found the most fantastic score on IMSLP - seems to been uploaded only a few weeks ago. I'll put it up to quiz you here later on, when I'm at home, but I think there will be some pleased faces around here....

Langgaard Music of the Spheres.

I would have given the same page myself! ;D

[EDIT: Or not. On second thought, there would have been other contenders... ;D]

Almost every page is gorgeous, isn't it? Did you already have this one? As far as I can make out IMSLP says it was only uploaded on 30th January, but that doesn't mean anything. This is one score I didn't expect to see there.

Sorry, sul G, but the rest of us got there a couple of weeks ago!

....or this one. Interesting, given the extreme contrapuntal leanings of this guy's most famous pupil, that this piece is almost entirely homophonic, with a dutiful attempt at fugato near the end.

Because we're making such progress on the two 'batches' of piano pieces  ;D  ::)  >:D- I think you've got ample clues to get these, btw - here's a third batch. The link that unites the other batches also applies to the first of these ones, 437, but 437's link to the others is of a different though similar nature. Got that?

437, 438, 439, 440
