Quiz: Mystery scores

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

I think Guido's looks like something from Also Sprach Zarathustra.

Oops, I did it again, to coin a phrase.

362 - Night Fantasies (guessing from the all-interval chord in the LH and the fact that it is too slow 70+ bars into it to be 90+ or one of the newer solo pieces)

368- Babbitt?  anyway looks like an integral serialist piece, but the range is too narrow for Boulez and it does not look like Messiaen either

No

Babbitt is correct. If you find one of these two pieces, you'll find the other. That's probably a very generous clue, actually.

[Chrone]

373: Barry Guy, "Inscape-Tableaux #5"

Don't ask.

[karlhenning]

I'm not asking.

But I admit, I want to.

[bwv 1080]

No

Babbitt is correct. If you find one of these two pieces, you'll find the other. That's probably a very generous clue, actually.

Ok 362 is the first of the Two Diversions

The Babbitt piece is Partitions

The first is correct, but the second isn't.

[lukeottevanger]

373: Barry Guy, "Inscape-Tableaux #5"

Don't ask.

I've been trying not to, all day! That's one I didn't really expect to go, I just had it hanging around on my computer as an illustration of graphic scoring to show the kids at school.

So, do tell!

(I find it odd that the tricky ones go - Chrone being the main culprit here  - but the easy one, 370, remains)

[karlhenning]

A Luke sighting! (YHM)

[karlhenning]

(Nary an inkling viz. 370.)

[lukeottevanger]

You've failed me.

OK, I'm a chemist and I had remembered seeing that score awhile back on an unusual musical notation website when I was looking for stuff to post on this thread. It took a few minutes to find it again, and finally found it here (along with lots of other cool stuff):

[lukeottevanger]

Indeed - I found it a similar way, looking for graphic scores for the kids to marvel at: I have all the other ones on this site too.

So odd that the composer of After the Rain - an unusual but direct and beautiful piece, do you know it? - should write scores in this style too.

[lukeottevanger]

You guys really aren't picking up on my clues to 370, are you?

[lukeottevanger]

Has anyone tried.....playing it?  I'm sure many of you have heard this little ditty, many times over.

[karlhenning]

Well, I have no access to a piano, otherwise I should have done.

[lukeottevanger]

I must say, if I'd been notating 370, I'd have done it somewhat differently - rhythmically speaking this isn't really how the piece sounds. But the basics are correct.

Tell us what it is already!
