I don't tend to be much of a thread starter, but seeing as we're all still in party mood ;D here's a clip I've been longing to test you all out on. Simple question: who's the composer?
You? :)
Why thank you. No.
;D
Bruckner
I am never any good at this sort of thing...it sounds like a song to me, Lehar?
Mike
D moll, you are not taking this seriously! >:( >:( (where's the police smiley gone?) ;D
Wouldn't it be perception changing if 'twas Bruckner, though? So think along those lines.... ;)
Mike - it's a solo piano piece. Carries on in this vein for a couple of minutes.
Right, I though perhaps you were making a transcription. No good really me guessing, if it was remotely obvious you would not have posted it and I need the at least remotely obvious.
Mike
No, obvious it isn't, I must admit.
Ernesto Lecuona?
Sensible suggestion. Too sensible ;)
Shall I take it that you all give up then?
I'm going to take a wild stab and say Gottschalk.
No, sorry. Seem to have trapped you all in my carefully laid cage.
Which piece? I didn't recognize it at all.
Fads and Fancies in the Academy (from 1940, too) A movement called 'Reactionaries' (though it's only one of a few movements in such surprising stylistic garb) - apparently this one is facetiously notated in all sorts of irrelevant metres, however ;D
Ah...never heard the piece before.
I did think it was 20th century, if only because it sounded like reactionary music written by someone who liked Satie. I guess I was a lot closer than I realised. ;)

You certainly were! Well done!
(This wasn't very fair of me, I know. ;) I just love the fact Cage wrote something of this sort, so, any old excuse to post it!)
Oh, definitely. I used to play similar tricks on people by playing snippets from Schnittke film soundtracks. ;)
(And of course, there's that old standby, the slow movement of DSCH's 2nd piano concerto.)

Yes, I have a Kancheli one like that...

Well, that one's almost literally by Beethoven, of course (slow movement of PC5)!
Dang! I was going to say Granados >:( ;D
