Quiz: Mystery scores

[(poco) Sforzando]

Luke has attempted 13 and has 11 correct. Can't PM back because his box is full, but 6 is wrong, and for 10 he has the composer but not the work.

Luke - 11
Rappy - 4

Is 6 wrong because I stuck an extra 'n' in instead of a space? If so, you are a mean mean man!

[lukeottevanger]

Oh no, I see what I did wrong - wasn't concentrating! I was thinking of the second movement of course, but I'll PM you the right answer now....

[(poco) Sforzando]

Luke has corrected his two errors. All answers submitted by Rappy and Jezetha so far are correct. Scores now:

Luke = 13
Rappy = 4
Jezetha = 3

No meaner than others.

They are very similar.

[lukeottevanger]

I've got two more, I think (=15). Awaiting Sfz's confirmation!

Luke = 15
Rappy = 4
Jezetha = 3

Note also that in a day or two, a new twist will be introduced to the game . . . .   

[lukeottevanger]

You mean a new set? I'm not sure my brain can take it!    Anyway, I'm supposed to be composing.....

And I'm late for work. But you'll see . . . .

[Guido]

Is there some way you could compose a small homage to this, your favourite of all GMG threads? That might be entertaining!

Indeed. Maybe you can create a musical collage of the greatest highlights from the thread, and then display the score here for us to guess.

Meanwhile, updated scores for mine:

Luke = 15
Mark = 6
Rappy = 4
Jezetha = 3

Look for the "twist" sometime later today or tomorrow. 

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

I'm not doing very well, am I? Either I know the piece - and then I see/hear it (almost) at once -, or I don't and I need some circumstantial evidence to get ahead, which is lacking here.

Ah well...

Curious about the 'twist', though!

I've done something similiar a while ago:


That's a mix of themes from works in Bb major.
The goal is to identify all the themes.
But I don't want to distract from your quiz, Sforzando

Not at all. We regularly have a dozen quizzes proceeding simultaneously. You've added another interesting challenge . . . .

And what is really interesting is which pieces people are getting. Have a look:

J: 9, 15, 20
R: 1, 6, 9, 12
M: 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12
L: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20

1 - 6 - 9 - 12 (though Luke initially stumbled on 6 in a very interesting way). Are these pieces more "famous," or merely easier to guess based on the limited information supplied?

This will take some work! I've got only one so far - should I answer on the board or by PM?

Now I have two.....

[rappy]

I am sure that I also know #4 (althrough I would continue the phrase until the d2 with a progression of it, and I thought it was an orchestral piece while the fingerings indicate a piano phrase), #10, #13 and #15.
There are some genres and composers I don't like that much (e.g. Italian opera, Impressionism, baroque music other than (Vivaldi, Händel and) Bach) and I'm sure that you have some of these in your quiz.

I think it would be better if you send your answers per PM for the same reason as in your quiz.
The Bb major themes can be transposed and rhythmically adapted!

The issue is not what you like, but what you know! 

If you think you have a few more of mine, let me know via PM.
