Quiz: Mystery scores

[listener]

It appears to be something  (Bach? 1064:2), highly ornamented,  transcribed for ----- a string instrument, oud, maybe, or xylophone if the accessories are a clue, and the markings are for fingerings.  But no double stops, so possibly a demented wind fantasia on....?

[greg]

(Bach?)

what? 
My first guess was Stockhausen, simply given James' taste, and the rhythm complexity of the score. The only thing is, I'm not that familiar with most of Stockhausen's works, especially for solo instrument.

This one maybe, Maciek?

[rappy]

I think it's something for Oboe solo, because of the range and use of fluttertongue? But not Berio...

[Guido]

I really have no idea James!

[Maciek]

This one maybe, Maciek?

Aaaah, I think so, yes! Thanks a lot, Guido!

[Luke]

This lovely old thread....thought I'd look in and remind myself where it left off....

Trying singing the melodic line in your head as you read it, that may help...where is the usual 'click' when you need them? Maciek? Karl? Guido? Luke? etc?

Looks like everyone is finally stumped. 

well, James, you hadn't given anyone any clues, really, had you. Wasn't really in the spirit of the thread! But, whatever, I had a little think - this is you, so it's either Stockhausen or Zappa, and it's Zappa - The Black Page.

Anyone want to know the answer to my remaining ones, which are months older even than James's Zappa one? And anyone got the stomach to reignite this best-of-all-possible-threads?

[karlhenning]

As a clique, we really click.

[Luke]

Well, I am a 'score fetisher', and proud of it! And I have more juicy samples just burning to be uploaded.... 

[(poco) Sforzando]

Just one more for me right now. Shouldn't be hard - I think!

[greg]

Looks like late classical/early Romantic. So I have no idea.

Lots of views, no guesses. Clue time? He was once a very popular composer.

Mendelssohn?   

[(poco) Sforzando]

Mendelssohn?   

No, and it's not even Schoenberg either. A little later than Mendelssohn, and longer-lived, perhaps as a consequence very prolific.

[greg]

Balakirev? Bruch? Boito? Widor? Chaminade? Humperdinck?

[(poco) Sforzando]

Balakirev? Bruch? Boito? Widor? Chaminade? Humperdinck?

Sorry, none of those.

Yes, his name is on that list. Hint: it is not Julius Weissenborn.

[greg]

Rontgen? Moszkowski?

Rontgen? Moszkowski?

No.
