No way! That would make you as old as me! I begged to be taken to see it and the co-feature freaked me out out!!

I do hate it when that happens!

Any musical proposals from Karl or others yet?

Amfortas:  I was quite capable of going to the movies in 1957!   ;D

I stopped counting a looong time ago!

So, mystery music: anyone, anyone?

It's unlikely, but is this a woman composer?

Not a woman composer.

A clue: the composer died before 1860.   :o

Given that you said Liszt and Alkan were "about a generation older," this composer must have died in his 20s or 30 at latest! It sounds like he was very familiar with the Chopin scherzi, to which the music does have a certain resemblance. That's all I've got, though. :(

Excellent deduction, Watson, unless you are with the IRS!   :o

Yes, the mystery composer lived a too short life.

But don't we all? 

Another clue perhaps will generate the answer: his most famous work does NOT use a  piano.

This post doesn't contain a guess, but it does contain a picture showing that Google has a new feature recommending composers for you to try! Amazing!  ;D

either a banger of a pianist or piano 4-hands with a bit of a recording imbalance by the sound, added: but it's not

Not a bad guess either, and von Weber is under-rated in my opinion.

This clue might do it: the mystery composer is not a "piano banger," which sounds really kinky    $:)    , but was like Bruckner in his choice of instruments.

I agree with you there, von Weber is a longtime favorite of mine, a real tunesmith  ;)

Reger?

Lived much later - we're looking for a guy whose dates are roughly 1830-1860.

Oh, I misunderstood the clue and thought the mystery composer was the generation after, not before.

:)

Yes, 1830-1860 is not a bad time-frame, however, his actual dates will be somewhat different: but he did not make it past 1860.

but REUBKE  Piano sonata

YAY!

Yes, Julius Reubke, 1834-1858, one of the great might-have-beens in musical history.

His most famous work is the incredible Sonata on the 94th Psalm for Organ.  I still recall standing in the music library of my university and by chance coming across the score for this organ work.  I had never heard of Reubke but after standing there "hearing" the music as I read the score, I immediately ran for the record section!

Yes, Liszt and Wagner are in the atmosphere, but Reubke's sound is individual.

So Listener...take it away!
