Quote from: BWV 1080 on April 27, 2023, 12:08:36 PMOk, here is something different.  If I posted the actual score to this keyboard piece think you all would easily get it, but try the figured bass

Its also transposed, so the original may or may not be in A minor

This is the C minor Prelude from Book I of the WTC I think.

BWV 1080

And whilst waiting on my figured bass chord (I thought it was notorious, but maybe not) here are some interesting chords from a nineteenth century concertante work...

I don't know what it is but I'm pretty sure what it is not: Romantic / Late Romantic. Quite possibly not even early 20th Century.

I see many barbed-wire fences here...  ;D

The sound of this moment (and the music just before and just after) is anything but barbed ;D

Well, then this is a conspicuous case of the graphical look of the score being nothing like the actual sound of music.  ;D

Actually, besides barbed-wire fences it looks like honeycombs too. Perhaps Stravinsky's Scherzo Fantastique, then?  ;D

That looks like the clarinet solo from Rimsky-Korsakov's version of Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain, with each note half the length. After some searching (since I remembered that there were several other versions), I identified it as the version in Sorochinsky Fair.

Very good! But it's bassoon.... and it is (according to Richard Taruskin) part of where Stravinsky 'found' the beginning of The Rite. Compare and contrast.

In Sorochinsky Fair, it's for bassoon.
