Actually I think these are a bit harder, but then I'm very tired today. These are guesses, I haven't checked yet, I will in a minute though.

2 - Mahler 9
4 - Nielsen Flute Concerto
5 - Rachmaninov PC4
6 - RVW - Mass
9 - Stravinsky - Movements

The Rakh Third Concerto, but other than that erratum, all sound.

Yes, I was just about to alter that - for some reason I saw a single sharp in the key sig, so assumed G, which = the 4th. Then I saw it was a flat, which meant the 3rd. I was going by look more than sound, see (and in fact there are pages of the Rach 4 which looks almost like this one)....

Oh, and that first one is the Beethoven Pastoral Symphony, of course. Stupid of me...

Luke · May 12, 2015, 06:57:11 AM

10 looks like Hindemith or someone like that, but I can't say more at the moment...

Yes, though I did have a go at finding a page less obvious than many

Hindemith it is, indeed!

As to nos. 1, 7 & 8 from yesterday (gosh, I ought not to have re-set to 1 today, eh?) two of the three are certainly lesser-known works by their composers; the third might arguably be an almost completely obscure work by a generally well-represented composer.

Figures, Luke knows the most obscure one of the lot.

A few more to be getting on with...

Luke · May 13, 2015, 01:01:21 AM

...another...

Luke · May 13, 2015, 01:02:38 AM

...another (there are two here, but they are taken from different numbers from a single set, which is I suppose what I'm looking for; I only put both in for fun)

Luke · May 13, 2015, 01:03:53 AM

...more...

Luke · May 13, 2015, 01:05:17 AM

....last three for now...

Wow, I'm not doing well on any of these. But 15 looks like it could be from a Disney movie score or Looney Tunes or that sort of thing.

Yes, very close. You will almost certainly have seen the super-famous film itself (one of the most iconic films imaginable, in fact), and though the music here is certainly not one of the most famous pages, it does contain a quotation from another piece which might jog your memory, as someone like you will probably have spotted it if/when you've seen the film.

Luke · May 13, 2015, 03:01:53 AM

I also think 8, 10 and 11 are pretty gettable. The others would need a bit more work, maybe.

The Wizard of Oz?

Yes, Professor Marvel...
