Quiz: Mystery scores

[Luke]

Thank you, my friend! 

That was pretty.......dazzling!

[karlhenning]

Nor do I think that Maciek has at all overdone the smileys on this occasion.

[bhodges]

Luke!    What a nice surprise!  So sorry life has been unkind to you lately, and hope that changes soon.  Meanwhile, take it easy and know you have many pals here.

[Luke]

Yeah, I know it very well. And I've missed you all. Honestly, life's been so tricky that I just didn't want to sully all of 'this' with all of 'that'

and - this has been shocking, and I can scarcely admit or believe it - for months now I just haven't been able to listen to music, not really. Just thinking about it has even made me feel ill, at times. Terrible, it's just been terrible to lose that. But it's been coming back, these last few days, a dose of Janacek is curing all, as in the end it always does. 

[bhodges]

You know, probably many people go through periods of little or no music, for whatever reason.  (And after all, there is something to be said for silence.)  I find nothing shameful in that admission in the least.

And...Janacek rules.  0:)

It's actually an elaborate optical illusion. If you move your head left and right, the smileys will appear to be moving right and left. Kind of cool, no?

@ Bruce -
It was a little like that phase I went through about 4 years ago (during which, as now, I composed almost nothing) in which my listening habits thinned out to a very select group of composers (almost entirely the very old and the very new), before the 'gaps' began to fill themselves in again, meeting finally, in the middle with a reacceptance of Wagner, Mahler and the rest of those whingey old self-flagellators.... . Except that was 'only' the symptom of some kind of aesthetic upheaval, if that makes any sense. This time, it's been still deeper and more visceral. I shudder to think about it all...!

@Maciek -
I noticed. Very Bridget Riley... does it work with other smileys too?  

[Luke]

Clearly not.....

I've called it Yellow and Black Smileys for Luke 4/7 (2009).

[Luke]

It's going on the front of my next CD. With your permission, of course.

What the hell. Four from me:

Welcome back, Luke!!! (Sorry to hear life hasn't been quite agreeable for you these past few months.)

Nobody welcomed me back . . .

WELCOME BACK, SF!

(I haven't been on GMG a lot lately, I say in my defense...)

Hello guys. I've snuck back in quietly. It's been one hell of an awful few months, and I'm far from out of the woods yet - but I had a sudden urge to reregister here, so that can't be a bad sign.

But I don't think I'm up to be being very active yet. Maybe just my two or three favourite threads!

So, I must say it's been bugging me that none of you lot got these last ones -

1) not sure what the cello one is yet...
2) Alkan Concerto for Solo Piano...
3) Some Haydn Piano Sonata or other, would need to look it up...
4) Liszt, B minor Sonata
5) Beethoven, Emperor Concerto (piano part only)

This is all very weird...be gentle with me!

I had almost forgotten this thread. All of them right! The Haydn sonata is the second movement of the Hob. XVI/50. The first seems to be a bit harder than the other for some reason, maybe because I picked a weird place to screenshot. This other picture from the same work/movement should give a pretty good hint as to what this is though:

Welcome back, both Luke and Sf!
The forum is always a brighter place with you two here.
