Quiz: Mystery scores

[(poco) Sforzando]

Anyway, one left, folks. And I can't believe it hasn't been guessed. One of the finest pieces of music of all (IMHO). And as I said, containing more parts than that seen here.

No excuses from me except lack of concentration. It is the piano interlude from Janacek's Diary of one who Vanished.

[lukeottevanger]

Yes it is. Thank you!



It is the 'Erotic interlude' which provides a discrete (or not) commentary as the lovers...you get the idea.

Is there a finer portrayal of adolescent love and yearning in the repertoire? And written by a 63 year old man, although one who was more in touch than most with his inner adolescent! A cycle full of the most magical moments, but is there anything more potent than the sudden, hushed tones of the female voices as they steal into the darkness?

More to the point - that's it! No more scores. Until and unless.....

No, no - more scores! But let's retire this thread and start Mystery Scores, vol. II.

Sforzando must be right (I don't know the piece  ).

We've done it, at last!

[lukeottevanger]

Really? Why would we do that?  We can start a new list, but personally I think it's nice to keep everything in one place.

[lukeottevanger]

Johan, that's a situation you need to rectify. I'll see what I can do. Blachut or Gedda? (Hint - Blachut is the correct answer)

I agree with you AND with Sforzando - yes, it's nice to keep everything in one place, but otoh it became a bit cumbersome sometimes trawling through the pages to find a hint/clue...

Answer: Blachut.

No trawling required, though, if we keep the hyperlinked list regularly updated and the clues near the top, as I've always tried to do.

Answer: Blachut. 

'Tis being done as we speak....

Maybe if you could just bring the whole list TTT more often, or ask the mods if it can be made a sticky . . .

Good idea. I tried to bring the list TTT every three or four pages, though sometimes it was a little longer. But of course, though I took on the role of list-compiler, anyone can 'quote' the list and make it the 'subject' of their own post if the want to TTT it; they can also update it if they feel like it!

You did the job so well that I didn't want to take your baby away from you. But now I know snatching is allowed...

[lukeottevanger]

As long as it is kept with my scrupulous care and fairness.  0:) 0:) 0:) 0:)

(though with better proof-reading, perhaps)

[Guido]

Luke... any chance of you cc-ing the files onto me too?

[lukeottevanger]

Ask Johan to do it - I've sent them to him but didn't make a copy of the links.

[lukeottevanger]

When do people want to start the new set? I've got 10 ready to roll right now.... (of course - you didn't think I wouldn't have, did you?)

[lukeottevanger]

Going to bed now, however........

[Guido]

I don't really see any need for a new thread, but maybe you could edit the first post and have a complete list of the guessed and unguessed scores, like you regularly do. That way people will always be able to find the list without searching, should they want it.

[lukeottevanger]

The first post is Sean's, though, in one of his previous manifestations, so I can't edit it. But there must be a similar way of doing so, good idea...

[lukeottevanger]

Good morning, btw. 

[lukeottevanger]

If only Larry Rinkel was still here - he has plenty of posts on that first page which would give him ample room to keep updated copies of all the various lists easily accesible, plus a current one being frequently updated.

And how about an index made up of links to posts containing clues? I'll happily try to do such a thing, though time will tell to see if it is workable or not.

....sorry, just rambling here....

How about this: I make two lists, one of links to scores, as before, one of links to clues so that they're easy to find, and I try my best to put both lists somewhere on every page of the thread, with the latest being the most recently updated? It's worth a shot, anyway.
