Quiz: Mystery scores

[(poco) Sforzando]

35 - Roussel 3rd symphony Gm

[(poco) Sforzando]

And the fellow who prepared the reduction is famous in his own right.

Berg, I'd guess.

[karlhenning]

Yes to all.

[karlhenning]

Damn - looks like I missed all the fun.

Not all the fun, we hope!

[Luke]

And 41 is from OM's Quartet for the end of time - sorry if these have been identified already, I'm posting as I view..

[Luke]

44 is Herzegewachse

[karlhenning]

Larry did pip you at the post on the Messiaen; Herzgewächse is right on!

[Luke]

OK, so the easy ones have gone, time to settle down to a good bit of detective work - thanks, Karl, it's been a long time since we had a good bash at this game! 

[karlhenning]

I'm having fun, because it's my first serious attempt at what you are so apt at on this thread, Luke . . . a nice balance to the challenge.  There are a few more which I thought might be obvious, too, but I'm glad not all the fruit hung too low.

The other thing is, I managed at last to comb through some of my scores (not always an easy thing, ours is not a large apartment, so things like scores to which I do not need regular access, tend to be in hidden rows in the back of shelves).

[Luke]

22 is Debussy's Rondes de Printemps. Clearly Debussy to look at, and that 12/8 metre belongs to this piece very much. So I went to my shelves and checked...

[karlhenning]

Oui.

[Luke]

Is 23 Honegger's 5th, Di Tre Re?

[karlhenning]

Is 23 Honegger's 5th, Di Tre Re?

Yes, nicely done!  Had that one gone any time unclaimed, I should have indicated that there is a clue larger than may appear on the page . . . .

[Luke]

Well, the three final Ds and the date and place of completion helped, to be honest!  0:)

[Luke]

Going to guess the next one is Monteverdi

[Luke]

Blimey, all of a sudden 30 reminds me of Nielsen's 3rd, a score I haven't seen for 15 years at least. Could it be?

[karlhenning]

Oof, meant to trim the date & place . . . ah well.

Monteverdi, yes . . . not sure what level of detail we want here . . . .

[Luke]

lol- and I hadn't even seen the vocalising soprano and tenor parts when I posted that! It was just the feel of the thing... But now I'm more certain!

[karlhenning]

Yes!

[Luke]

Well, it was clearly a mid-20th-century French Honegger-ish figure, so we'd have got there in the end. I hope!

Is this much enough?

MONTEVERDI
