Quiz: Mystery scores

[rappy]

The new save game option should work, doesn't it?

@Sforzando: It is very loud 

Tantalizing... Couldn't I see the Motiv, please? I won't say a thing, but I just want to see it...  angel

That's what a successful game is characterized by.  0:)

Sie sind grausam, Herr Rappy...

Not for me - maybe probably I'm doing something wrong....

@Sforzando: It is very loud 

No, that's fortissimo; sforzando is something slightly different.....

[lukeottevanger]

No 17 was hard, after all - took a lot of persistence. Is no 21 equally mean?  Or am I being dense?

[(poco) Sforzando]

Sie sind grausam, Herr Rappy...   

Recht so. Est gibt viele laute Stücke in der Musik.

You amaze me, Sfz - didn't know you were fluent in German... 

[lukeottevanger]

up to no 24 now....

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

up to no 24 now....

Up to no good, more likely.

Manchmal erstaune ich mich selbst, Jez.

Aber kann ich noch nie Rappys #10 erkennen. . . .

Und ich komme noch immer nicht weiter als #7.

[lukeottevanger]

Who, me?  0:) Still stuck on 24.....

[lukeottevanger]

Managed to get 24, but 25 looks tricky too 

[(poco) Sforzando]

Und ich komme noch immer nicht weiter als #7.

Und ich bin viel mehr hilfbar als Luke. 

Erstens, denke an Beethovens berühmten Wortspiel: "Nicht ___ , sondern Meer."

[lukeottevanger]

Und ich bin viel mehr hilfbar als Luke. 

Oi, watch it. I may not be writing any German, but I can read it well enough to understand you! I've got the message, you've said you want a clue at least three times now....

I'm stuck myself - again; I'm still on 25, which once again I think I know. It's one of those sturdy little baroque-looking tunes that seems familiar but which may well not be. Some of these last few have been hard - if one doesn't know the melody straight off then one is pulled up short much quicker than with 'mystery scores' where there is so much more information to go on, more lines of enquiry to make.

[rappy]

Oh, when I said #10 is very loud I mixed it up with #11. Sforzando, #10 is the first half of a very beautiful theme from a famous work. I'm sure you know it!

Yeah, you're right. The later rounds are supposed to be more difficult, though. You will face even harder ones

I'm sure he does too.

Possibly! But this thread has shown time and time again that the ones which ought to be easy are often harder than those that ought to be hard. It all depends so much on the listening habits and habits-of-thinking of the person guessing.

Don't I get any clues for no 25 then?  0:)

You're even worse than Luke!

Oh, look who wants clues now.

[lukeottevanger]

...what I mean is [my previous post], you intend them to get harder as they go on, but to an extent that must be conditioned by your own idea of what is easy and what isn't, which in turn is conditioned by the music you know. Personally, I'm finding that there are more difficult ones (for me) throughout, but also easy ones (for me) - after I'd got through no 17, which was a bit of a pig for me, numbers 18, 19 and 20 were really easy.

Well, I wouldn't want you to beg on your own...
