Name that piece! The game

For example - in the field of symphony they worked for the same record label.

Record labels in Brahms' time? Most intriguing novelty, sir!

This is contemporary of Schumann. They met several times. His symphonies are sometimes regarded the missing link between symphonies of Schumann and symphonies of the famous composer of the very next generation who was a friend of our composer. And yes, this is the fragment of one of these symphonies.

He wrote piano and some violin music, string quartets, piano trios (one of them was especially highly appreciated), overtures, serenades, some concert works (the only exact concerto is probably now his most popular work) and some - probably - less important vocal music.

Dietriech is rather the next generation - the generation of Brahms.
But there are some similarities.
For example - in the field of symphony they worked for the same record label.
And there is other even more tight connection of this kind between them.
What I mean?
If you compare several times the Amazon Best Sellers Ranks of the most popular record which contains Dietrich music and of the most popular record which contains mystery composer's music you will find that distance between them never changes!

The trio mentioned above was a favorite piece of Liszt who played it frequently with Joachim.

When in 1875 Liszt founded conservatory in Budapest, our composer who lived in this city since 1841 (with the 4 years break in 1850-es) became a professor of harmony and counterpoint there.

This was a fragment of the 1st movement of the 2nd Symphony Op.53 In B Flat composed in 1865.



Probably the most popular record of Volkmann music is the same which is the the most popular record of Dietrch music:

We seem to have grown bored with this thread, but I'll put this up:
composer should be instantaneous, but what is it?
small hint: it is Gerald Moore playing

[listener]

another hint: it's the only composition I know that refers to "Götz" von Berlichingen.

[listener]

...written under duress to fulfill a contract, the publisher had to accept the work but then refused to publish it.

[listener]

... and Deutsche Grammophon described a section as "uns leider nicht möglich*" and refused to print the text. EMI had no such reservations on a later recording.

*not very nice

[Amfortas]

listener, that download does not seem to work? I only a .php file....can you check it?

[listener]

It opens for me in a Windows Player, could this be that Windows 7 problem we had earlier? -  yes I seem to remember Windows captures in .php format, I'may have a way to convert it.

Anton Rubinstein?

[Dima]

Anton Rubinstein?

Thank you for the try. Just a moment I will listen.... No, this is not Anton.
This composer considered by members of the Mighty Handful as the main specialist in opera genre among them.

Rimsky-Korsakov? I Kind of recognise it as being from one of his operas. I have been going through Rimsky-Korsakov's operas for the last couple of years: wonderful music.

Rimsky-Korsakov? I Kind of recognise it as being from one of his operas. I have been going through Rimsky-Korsakov's operas for the last couple of years: wonderful music.

It is from opera-ballet Mlada every act of which was written by different composer. The composition of the score was divided between César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov and Aleksandr Borodin, including interpolated ballet music by Ludwig Minkus. The whole 1 act was written and orchestrated by Cesar Cui - and the fragment I gave on forum is the end of this 1st act and written by Cui. I decided to give this beautiful fragment as an example of what Cui could compose. In soviet times music of Cui was claimed as bad, that is why you don't need to hear it (but the truth was that he had not russian nationality) and practicaly was not recorded. This fragment show what his opera music is lool like (he wrote about 15 operas). And we can hear Cui on this recording only because this work was labeled on CD and attributed to Rimskiy-Korsakov without any coauthors. If it is interesting I have an article in pdf where it is written who wrote every act and fragment.

Thanks, Dima!

we can try to continue this game?
I'll be back with a suggestion....

I hear Schubert and Chopin but it is not they. First I decided it may be Hummel.
Then with the help of computer program I found out real composer.
