This I considered a challenge to myself, to find a passage which was not an outright giveaway . . . .

Where did you find that page? I was at first not sure because of the Italianate markings ("Voce" "Arpa") until I "listened" mentally: I believe my score (not available right now) is a German one.

Looks like a Dover reprint of an edition from Leipzig . . . .

Damn, missed those ones too - the first one is Chopin's A minor Prelude

Yes; I love the churning chromatic neighbor-tones, and how it doesn't start in A Minor.

sul G · April 15, 2009, 07:08:21 AM

Oh, and the one underneath the Rachmaninov is from Pierrot Lunaire, of course.

Not that there was any way for it not to be a giveaway to you, mi amico!

Penultimate one is a Palestrina motet (Sicut cervus/Psalm 41)?

karlhenning · April 15, 2009, 07:12:55 AM

Yes, Maciek.

The other rule is, whenever a performer complains about your Flute/Clarinet/etc. part in your composition, you pull out your copy of Pierrot Lunaire and say: "Aber, mein Herr, der gute Schoenberg...

Too much fun, can't stop yet.

karlhenning · April 15, 2009, 07:31:22 AM

Two more.

sul G · April 15, 2009, 08:01:36 AM

- Shostakovich, Seventh Symphony
- Wagner, Parsifal Prelude

sul G · April 15, 2009, 08:05:22 AM

ooops, forgot to fit in the first one! It's a little known number called the Eroica Symphony by one Ludwig van Beethoven.

sul G · April 15, 2009, 08:06:09 AM

And yes, it is fun, isn't it!

Drat! That C Major episode didn't throw you in the least!

...and yes, I know I owe you some clues. If we're going to get going again, perhaps it's worth my while to think some up...

karlhenning · April 15, 2009, 08:32:34 AM

Quote from: Luke non Saul(bet you don't remember setting one before Karl, do you? but my records show otherwise!!)

I remember doing so, but don't remember what

Interesting that [12] is still at large. Another one I expected Maciek to pick up on. One slightly misleading aspect is the four-hands arrangement, perhaps.

Guido · April 15, 2009, 08:37:30 AM

As I have tried to allude to in the past, the solo line of my one is not all it seems - its actually for voice (wordless)... hope this helps - need to get mine all sorted!

sul G · April 15, 2009, 08:38:33 AM

@ Karl - Yes, I thought that might be an arrangement, actually. Something about it looks unpianistic. But I'm not sure what it is yet.

I think your previous one was one of your own scores - Brett's wedding music IIRC

karlhenning · April 15, 2009, 08:47:50 AM

Yes, of course!
