Quiz: Mystery scores

[(poco) Sforzando]

329 Copland Piano Fantasy.

[(poco) Sforzando]

333 from the very dramatic slow movement of the late Schubert G major quartet.

[(poco) Sforzando]

334 Nielsen comes to mind, but it's definitely not from the violin concerto.

335 the ending of Haydn's Farewell Symphony.

Good on all of these. Told you there were some easy ones! Re. the Nielsen - this is a piece Larry Rinkel used to talk very enthusiastically about. And it wouldn't be the violin concerto, no, because I used that score a long time ago.

Thanks on the Strauss - I couldn't remember which opera that was, though someone told me long ago.  This little self-quotation comes from a letter Strauss sent to my great-great-great uncle Friedrich Buxbaum, lead cellist of the VPO and cellist of the Rosé Quartet.

[lukeottevanger]

The Nielsen, btw, is very easy if you actually look at what's going on, instruments etc. Surprised you didn't get it immediately, in fact...

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Nielsen Flute Concerto?

[lukeottevanger]

Of course - a page containing one of the trombone's little outbursts. I remember Larry talking about this piece very....well, very memorably!

Of course - a page containing one of the trombone's little outbursts. I remember Larry talking about this piece very....well, very memorably!

Well, I can't be expected to know everything Larry knew. Maybe even Larry doesn't know a few things I know. But to tell the truth, the Fl on the score looked like a Vl until I zoomed in more closely, and that threw me.

Actually, this PDF idea is a good one, as it is easier to enlarge the scores so they're all more readable. Can you tell me how to put these together, and how to upload them?

Sorry, Sfz...

Oh, I doubt it, somehow.

Re putting a PDF together - do you have a PDF writer? I use CutePDF (freeware) but there are others out there.

Once you have it up and running, it operates exactly like a printer, except that it prints 'internally'. So, paste your score samples (or whatever) into a document and then print it, but specify the PDF writer as your printer of choice. Then you'll be prompted as to the file name/location that you want. Then you're done. Very easy.

How does one upload the completed PDF to a network, for public consumption?

[(poco) Sforzando]

Sorry, Sfz...

Not at all, Jez. I've heard the Nielsen wind concertos often enough, and I should have known better. An outstanding characteristic of the flute concerto is how the Falstaffian bass trombone serves as a secondary soloist, ridiculing (I do not exaggerate) the elegant flute and eventually achieving a kind of reconciliation with him/her/it. I think this was in fact Larry's thesis on the matter. But at 12 midnight, when you're dead tired, sometimes the mind plays tricks with one.

Quickest and most user-friendly might be Mediafire, I suppose. My score PDF is at esnips because that's where I've got my own compositions, not that that's a proper reason, as I also use Mediafire. 

At Mediafire, register (free and instant) and then upload your file[ s]. Once they're done, you'll be given a link to them - copy it and paste it here for us.

[lukeottevanger]

Yes it was - IIRC he even used the description 'Falstaffian' as you did!  You obviously remember it as well as I do!

I'd be VERY impressed if someone could guess this mystery score:

[lukeottevanger]

 

The use of tablature reminds me of Dowland - a is this a lute solo from In Darknesse let me Dwell? It seems to have the refinement, restraint and subtle melancholy of Dowland....



(I'm joking, GGGGRRREEG)

[greg]

lol at least you tried 

[lukeottevanger]

Well, it looks like Van Halen to me. But what do I know...
