Quiz: Mystery scores

[Karl Henning]

By the font, I'd say the violin concerto is by a Russian; however, since it's not Prokofiev or Shosty, I'll make a wild guess (since I don't know the piece) and say it could be the Khatchaturian.

Actually not a vn cto, so the way I extracted it is misleading; it is [a portion of] an ensemble accompanying a voice, and I wanted a passage without voice so as not to give the fact that it is Russian away.  But, yes, by a Russian;  not by Khatchaturian, though.

I do not recall ever hearing the work, but is the two-piano work the Sonata by Stravinsky?

It is not . . . and it is actually from a two-piano adaptation of a work for one piano (well, I think the one-piano version was first . . . .)

These are my last for today . . .

[Luke]

Blimey! All whilst I was driving home - quick work!

Hmm, these are harder. The following jumped out at me, but some of the others looked familiar...

9 is Venus from the Planets (Holst).
10 is Langaard, I think. Music of the Spheres.
11 is Ockeghem, Missa Prolationem, I think (can't get to my score to check)
12 is Prokofiev Classical Symphony
13 looks like Mompou, not the Musica Callada so presumably one of the 'Cancion y Danza' set

I'll look at the others more closely now.

[Luke]

Oh, is 6 Shostakovich 7? I thought it was an orchestration of one of op 87 at first, but that was stupid of me...

[Luke]

And 5 looks like RVW, Phantasy Quintet?

[Luke]

Has 3 been identified? For some reason it looks like Busoni. Could it be the two piano version of the Fantasia Contrapuntistica? I haven't heard that for years!

[(poco) Sforzando]

14 could be Stravinsky. 15 I believe is from the Machaut mass.

Yes, although the Mompou is the second of the Impresiones intimas.

[Luke]

Yes, I thought the Machaut, but then I thought that falling scale figure is only in the Kyrie. But I think you're right, it's elsewhere too, isn't it?

[Luke]

Yes, although the Mompou is the second of the Impresiones intimas.

Still, pleased - I got that it was Mompou from the ritenuto marking, mainly!

[Karl Henning]

14 could be Stravinsky. 15 I believe is from the Machaut mass.

Yes, from the Danses concertantes, and yes.

[Karl Henning]

Some (all?) of these are probably on the easy side, but since three of my batch from yesterday are arguably obscure-ish . . . .
