Anyone eager and willing to put up a new snippet?

I have an idea for one, but I won't have access to the disc until tonight.

Fine by me!

[mc ukrneal]

Fine by me!

In the meantime - how about an easy one? This is my first use of audacity and that uploader, so maybe we'll see if this works!

It all works fine. And the piece is very familiar. It's from a ballet, I think. Let the others guess the composer...

[Drasko]

Khachaturian Masquerade Waltz

[DavidW]

You could dance to it, makes me think of J. Strauss Jr.   But maybe russian... I have a feeling that Drasko got it.

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Yes, he's right.

[Brian]

Khachaturian Masquerade Waltz

That's the one.

I was listening to Lutoslawski and played the clip without stopping the Luto. Interesting sounds ensued 

[DavidW]

Brian, you've been gone along time, would you like to post one?   Not of course meaning to usurp Drasco' turn just whenever you feel like it.

Ding Ding Ding! I knew it would be quick. It took me over an hour to make that stupid clip (and downloading everything). I chose something I wouldn't mind listening to over and over, and it won't be so easy next time! It's from this outstanding disc for those who are interested:

Glad it works!

Scarpia was going to upload something later tonight....

If someone wants to put one up in the mean time that's fine by me.

Next time at least it will only take you about 5 minutes to prepare the clip!

Ok here's one (starting hint - it's not excerpt but whole piece):

[Opus106]

Something by Ligeti? (If that turns out to be right, I won't be able to come up with a clip now since I am about to hit the sack, so I ask of you continue the game with what Scarpia has to offer. )

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Well, it's German. And contemporary. They're singing about a 'Peitsche' (whip), which reminds me of Nietzsche...

[Drasko]

Not Ligeti.

Good ears Johann! It is German, and it is whip, but not exactly contemporary - piece is more than 50 years old.

Zimmermann?

While Scarpia gets home and good and ready to post his piece, here's something which should take you guys no time at all... well, at least a second and a half!
