Mistery piece - NEW

[m_gigena]

Lets have some fun identifying this clip

http://rapidshare.com/files/62602621/excerpt.mp3

the winner gets an mp3 with a live recording of Alexander Tchaikovsky's Sinfonia for viola and orchestra (after Shostakovich's string quartet)

[sidoze]

don't know but you can't dance to it so I don't like it 

EDIT: well it almost dances. who would have thought that after the first 5 minutes? 

[m_gigena]

Three downloads so far. Come one, the file is just 13mb, try it.

*Would it help if I optimize the prize?*

What about a live recording of Henze's tenth symphony?

[m_gigena]

I'll raise the bet: the winner gets a video with the inauguration of the Disney Hall in Los Angeles (Salonen conducts the LAPO in The Rite of the spring).

Oh, no, not another mystery piece!!    Manuel, you've caused me enough trouble already, even if my email program's auto-settings did add David Hurwitz to the letter-writing equivalent of speed dial.

Don't worry. I know the piece this time.  0:)

It's not a great piece, actually (it's long, and it certainly can bore you to tears, but I find its introduction very funny).

The thread has been viewed 70 times, and the file downloaded only 4. So I don't think the perspective is actually interesting GMGers.

Nice piece. I don't know it, but I want to.

I give up, anyway. Come on Manuel, tell us what it is, already!

Are you sure you didn't recognize a single theme from that work? I find it very funny just because of how they distort the original tunes.

What you had there were the initial minutes of

Monica Conversano's "La signorina Valery" (after La traviata). For reciter, flute, clarinet, french horn, string quintet and percussion.

[some guy]

Recognizing La Traviata tunes was neither here nor there, though, right?

The mystery piece was Monica's not Guiseppi's.

Anyway, thanks for telling us the answer, and so soon! (I promise not to spoil things like that ever again, unless I do. Besides, I already have Henze's tenth!)

Any road, I'm off to Google Monica Conversano now.

I think the Prelude can be distinguished from the begining of the piece. And the bullicious guests are also there, if you wait some time.

And I have already uploaded the piece for viola and orchestra to the Broadcast Corner.

But I don't expect anyone to download it, as it seems downloading files from unknown uploaders is really frightening.

I shall. We really need more solo viola works in this world: it's a beautiful, beautiful instrument.

I knew there would be takers for it.

Btw, I'm attending to Harold in Italy tonight.

Why? Is he unwell? Long way to go!
