Quiz: Mystery scores

[Guido]

OK fine, Jez. I have removed my reaction, which means you can remove your reaction to my reaction, as well as your instruction to remove my original reaction, after which I can remove my reaction to your instruction to remove my reaction.

Now, if we could only remove Sean.... 

(But as this is part of my reaction to your instruction to remove my reaction, it will be removed too, so long as no one reacts to my reaction to Johan's instruction to remove my reaction.)

Oh dear... Looks like I just did. Right here. Right. Now.

Yes, but what about my reaction to Johan's reaction. That puts a spanner in the works...

Oi - lest we forget, omphaloskepsis is my domain!!

On that point, my memory is positively elephantine, Luke  

[Guido]

(not that I've been able to devote much time to the outpost recently...)

Well, get ready to explode with joy then, Greg - here are all the other pages, plus no 5 thrown in for free!!!

A joygasm perhaps? Oh dear... maybe this will need removing too.

Not until I've quoted it, thank you very much...

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Curiouser and curiouser! 

Any scannable Bax symphony nearby, Luke? I'd dearly like to see a page...

No, not until he posts every single page of the 4th, 10th and 14th symphonies.

If you want me to explode.......

Bax - my Achilles heel (OK, one of them - if Achilles were a millipede that would start to account for the deficiencies in my score collection). Of Bax, I only have the piano music, plus a couple of chamber pieces.

I'm not sure that would be a good idea, Greg, so I'll leave it, thanks!

Ah, pity...

We've had enough of that already from Sean....

Speaking of sexuality in music, I recall seeing a performance of the Barber Violin Concerto where the woman next to me, upon the fortissimo return of the main theme in the orchestra, was seized with this involuntary shudder that looked like it could possibly.... And she saw that I noticed this, and smiled sheepishly. At intermission I said something like "that is an awfully nice moment in the piece, isn't it?"

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

HAHAHAHAHA - WOW!

Don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, but she could have faked it, you know...

[lukeottevanger]

Anyway....

I just played through my 243 for the first time. It is great fun! And utterly chaste, too.  0:)

Good thing you weren't sitting next to Sean.

I did hear the National Symphony do the Shostakovich 6th recently, and Owlice and I managed to keep our composure during the scherzo.

[lukeottevanger]

What a way to reach page 100 

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

Yes, this thread has come a long way.

[(poco) Sforzando]

I know what I'm listening to tonight . . . .
