Quiz: Mystery scores

Luke, just try out a bit! You already had some good guesses concerning composer, instrumentation, tonality... You are not far away

If it's not the main theme, what could the main key of the piece be? Having in mind the era it was written in.

You are evil, Ralph! But you're one of us, also ; )

rappy · August 24, 2010, 09:13:52 AM

So the latter outweighs the former?

I find this thread to be much more evil, as of many of the composers whose scores you pick I've only read in a lexicon yet.

I'll have to create a mode which allows one to start at #36, so that everyone can come to enjoy my evilness!

Karl, is your 34 another Shchedrin piece, perhaps from Artless Pages or his Album for the Young?

MIssed that one - was it the Wuorinen 3rd PC?

Guido · August 24, 2010, 10:53:08 AM

Schedrin a good composer then?

Luke · August 24, 2010, 10:56:10 AM

Personally, I have no idea! Scarcely heard anything of his. The shame! (I can live with it)

Yes.

Jury's still out by me. In trying the case (to extend the metaphor), I happened to pick up some piano sheet music when I was in St Petersburg & Tallinn. This sheet music is inconclusive evidence. ; )

Thanks, amended.

No, it must be awfully obscure. Sforz picked up the other on the clue of it being contrapuntal, and possibly one of a set.

Album for the Young, III. Играем оперу Россини (Let's Play a Rossini Opera)

The Naughty Limericks piece is cute, but a little modest to go by the subtitle Concerto for Orchestra. The Carmen Suite transcription is nice enough. I haven't yet heard (or read) anything that sets him apart from the herd.

Luke · August 24, 2010, 11:06:36 AM

And I got this one by your tripartite clue - the fact that it's a kids' piece; the word naughty; elsewhere the word limerick (Shchedrin having a Concerto for Orchestra subtitled Naughty Limericks). Also, it did look Russian, print-wise, which confirmed me in my guess a little.

karlhenning · August 24, 2010, 11:06:57 AM

Hey! Once I get this viola sonata in the can, I'll have a lash at a fresh set . . . .

In the can? Surely it's not that bad....

Luke · August 24, 2010, 11:08:44 AM

Would be nice to clear up the current list, especially the older ones (calling Maciek....) so that we can start a fresh one. That's turning into quite a mammoth post to juggle with!
