Title: MT's New "Name that Tune" game
Post by: mahlertitan on June 23, 2007, 10:32:20 AM
haven't done this in a while, like always,
note:
- majority of the pieces are obscure pieces by famous composers, so i am not intentionally trying to make your life miserable.
- All tracks were taken from the beginning
- the first one is the easiest, while the last one is the hardest (almost impossible to figure it out)
- if you know the answer, don't spill it immediately, reply and say that you got it, and say it only when the files are downloaded atleast 10 times.
- no clues are given, assume that the pieces are not related at all.
- some answers can be deduced, so don't give it up just yet, there are "musical" clues within the music.

Rats! I should've known the first one! And I was inches from changing my mind about my Vivaldi guess and opting for a Haydn Symphony ... though I'd have probably gone for the wrong one! ;D

How dare you! Confused Haydn with Vivaldi? They're not even from the same period!   :D

Just kidding. I thought it was Bruckner.  ;D

That's understandable. None of Fuchs 3 symphonies is in d minor  ;) . From what I've been able to gather, there's only one recorded version available from the Thorofon label.

Listen again to that energetic string playing. There's a CD of Vivaldi Violin Concerti on Onyx with Viktoria Mullova playing which has moments very much like the one in the clip MT posted, hence my being thrown.

No way dude, Vivaldi is much more predictable than that. Starting from second 10, there no way Vivaldi wrote that. It just goes to a tangent Vivaldi never touches. Again I didn't know it was Haydn but Vivaldi? LOL
