Quiz: Mystery scores

[lukeottevanger]

no 38 - composer's style quite evident, but piece harder

no 39 - easiest of the lot

[lukeottevanger]

no 40 - style very clear on this one

[greg]

Is 11 Cage?

I'm going to guess at Rihm for no 15

both are close in time period/style, but it's not them

16 is Lemma-Icon-Epigram (Ferneyhough) - can tell just by those familiar first tuplets as they appear on the screen (my much cherished first-ever 'New COmplexity' score, bought in Prague)

**** this dial-up = Larry's guessed the Ferneyhough too!!

yep, and Larry gets that one

[Maciek]

Is it just me (limited knowledge and generally a "limited" person) or is this round much harder than the previous one? 0:)

I'll upload mine in a sec.

[Larry Rinkel]

both are close in time period/style, but it's not them

yep, and Larry gets that one

What about my guess on the Carter Concerto for Orchestra?

[greg]

What about my guess on the Carter Concerto for Orchestra?

nope, though i can see why you guessed that!

[Maciek]

Here are the other two.

As for clues: you know which direction to go.

Greg, do put your signature on a diet!

[lukeottevanger]

no 41 - a clue makes this one easy too - I'm too kind.

no 42 - no need to say anything

mm8- Penderecki String Quartet #1?

where's 41 and 42, Luke?

[lukeottevanger]

No 43 has two composers. Either will do

No 44

No 45

No 46

[greg]

mm10- Penderecki String Trio?

[lukeottevanger]

No 47

No 48

No 49

[lukeottevanger]

Something going wrong here. I'll try again later. Maciek's scores are also loading very slowly - I've hardly seen a note of them yet...

Edit - my scores are all up now, though Maciek and Greg's pages are still loading much slower for some reason.

Is Camrbidge in Norfolk? i thought it was was. I couldn't actually remember if you lived in Norfolk or East Anglia, so I went with Cambridge : /

Cambridge is a town. It is the county town of Cambridgeshire, which is named after Cambridge, which is named after a river, the Cam, and a bridge over it. Subtle, huh? I used to live there; Guido lives there at the moment.

Norfolk is a county. Its county town is Norwich. I live in Norfolk now.

Both Norfolk and Cambridgeshire are in East Anglia, which is a region.

Clear now?

LO35 is Britten, the closing part to Nocturnal Op.70.

You got it. Based on which other piece? - this page quotes it note for note.

[lukeottevanger]

Before Guido gets here, I'd better go for Maciek's no 9 - Chopin Cello Sonata.

[karlhenning]

I'm grateful that 43 is so easy, Luke! 

György Kurtág, Játékok

[Maciek]

Here are mine once again - tell me if these load quicker. If they do, I'll delete the earlier attachments. If they don't, I'll delete this post.

MM07 Luke got this one: it's from the Piano Quintet by Juliusz Zarebski


MM08
Greg guessed it - it's Penderecki's 1st SQ


MM09
Yep, Luke snatched it before Guido got here (sorry, Guido, it was intended for you to guess but I was aware that Luke would be a contender... - and he's on dial-up, so he deserved it ). It's Chopin's Cello Sonata - the final bars.

And it was a tease, Luke, that you did not white out one of the composers' names! -- Krisztina Takács
