Quiz: Mystery scores

I was just about to say Takemitsu too - those open noteheads are typical of him. And of course the sho...

I haven't seen the first one yet....

here's an easy one, like a coffee break

Logged back in for another guess but then I'm really gone:

Takemitsu - Distance???

[lukeottevanger]

Don't know your first one...

[Larry Rinkel]

It's a bit small and difficult to read. Knowing your tastes, it should be Xenakis - but I've never seen a Xenakis score, so can't tell. 0:) (It does look a bit too simple though...? )

(Why am I even posting in this thread? I feel like a total fool...)

Not Xenakis.

exactly!

[Larry Rinkel]

Correct on the Liszt and the Villa-Lobos!

The Ferneyhough is not Lemma-Icon-Epigram (which is quite a bit more complicated, though still not BF at his most extreme) - in fact it isn't piano music (look a little closer...). Once you have the instrument the possible pieces are reduced to one.

Actually, the reason this piece isn't quite as complex as most other Ferneyhough pieces is partly to do with the instrument, which is another clue, I suppose.

Then I have to try Sieben Sterne for organ.

Steve Reich?

yep, since this one is too easy, guess the work too!

[greg]

here's a really fun one!

[greg]

this composer isn't one of the "leading composers", but just look at the style of the score, thinking of the time period, and think of all the possible composers, that should help you narrow it down.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's early Ligeti, though I'm too lazy to go through the work list and pin it down.

waaaaaaay off (though in time period)

Phrygian gates

Not positive, but Six Pianos feels like the logical guess.

[Larry Rinkel]

Still waiting for somebody to identify my #20.....

[greg]

Phrygian gates

correct!

[Larry Rinkel]

An elegiac work for solo viola using quarter tones - but definitely not the Stravinsky Elegy, and I doubt the Britten.
