Quiz: Mystery scores

[Mark G. Simon]

What is a 'dissonant cowpatch', anyway?

One with a lot of poop.

Job is another strong score.

You mean Jobby (sorry, Luke).

[Mark G. Simon]

A British word, perhaps?

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

A British word, perhaps?

Yes, it's UK slang for... erm 'lump of excrement' (inspired by your 'poop' explanation...).

Okay, onwards and upwards!!

[Mark G. Simon]

On another board, the term "cowflop" was often used to refer to any early 20th century British music (in an affectionate way, though*).





* (affectionate for the music, that is, not the cowflop)

That's a relief... But returning to Job, it's a firm favourite of mine.

[(poco) Sforzando]

Enough poop. Three more from me (hint: the first is not the Allegro barbaro by Bartok, but it sure makes demands on the pianist's octave technique).

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

#37 Schumann, Genoveva (Third Act).
#36 Massenet, Don Quichotte (Fifth Act)
#35 Alkan, Allegro Barbaro (5th of the 12 Etudes Dans Tous Les Tons Majeurs, Op.35)

[Guido]

Correct Luke. You people are far too good at this stuff.

It had that bland, pastoral, ever so slightly (but not really) dissonant cowpatch quality I love so much about him . . . . 

Bland?! You do him great dishonour sir!! This is absolutely gorgeous stuff surely! Also, is cowpatch even a word? I only know cowpat, but maybe cowpatch is the American word?

[lukeottevanger]

3 more whilst I was out, and already snatched up  . I want MORE MORE MORE!!!

Very good. I will have to hunt up more Marius Flothius.

[Mark G. Simon]

I am shocked, shocked, that Alkan beat Bartok to that title.

He's a lot more prescient in this and other things than many imagine.

[Guido]

Here's three excerpts from the same piece.

Guessing at sketches for Ives' Universe Symphony

[Guido]

Yes.

Here's four more. (The first one - I may have sent you the score for this already Luke, so don't ruin it yet if I have...)

[Guido]

Here are the other 3

[J.Z. Herrenberg]
