The remaining three are all minor works, pretty obscure - no reason that people should have heard them. They've all been recorded though, and I'm sure that Luke will have heard at least two of them...

sul G · April 16, 2009, 11:25:36 AM

Yeah, thanks for the extra pressure.

I guess I should get to work on these then...

sul G · April 16, 2009, 11:44:26 AM

I wonder if 61 is the Rubbra sonata. I'd be pleased and surprised, however!

Maciek · April 16, 2009, 01:19:57 PM

The Panufnik piece. Is it Reflections?

sul G · April 16, 2009, 01:34:09 PM

No, 'fraid not.

Maciek · April 16, 2009, 01:41:59 PM

Darn. 12 miniature studies?????

465 - Beethoven??

No. Five more guesses, you hear me - five!

Quote from: Maciek on April 16, 2009, 01:41:59 PM465 - Beethoven??

No. But one of the few composers whose fame is roughly on that level (just a wee bit less, I suppose)

Maciek · April 16, 2009, 01:53:42 PM

Well, we've already had Pentasonata here in the past. But I have no other ideas...

Brahms??

Clearly, I'm NOT on a roll.

karlhenning · April 16, 2009, 01:54:34 PM

Don't call him 'butter', 'coz he's not on a roll . . . .

Have we? I don't remember that. Well, anyway, we've also had The Planets about three times now, and two Feste Romane, etc. etc. ! Yes, it's the Pentasonata.

Quote from: Maciek on April 16, 2009, 01:53:42 PM
Brahms??

No. Someone in between. One of his most famous pieces.

Maciek · April 16, 2009, 02:27:22 PM

OK, finally got something! 456: Chausson's Concerto for violin and piano quintet, 1st movement. (Because it clearly can't be Haydn/Salomon Symphony Quintetto in C, Hob. I:97 after Symphony No 97 for flute, string quartet & piano ad libitum).

Quote from: sul G on April 16, 2009, 01:56:43 PM
Someone in between.

In terms of fame or chronology? Schubert??

sul G · April 16, 2009, 02:28:13 PM

Both correct!

You have ascended the roll now, I believe.

Maciek · April 16, 2009, 02:38:50 PM

His last Piano Sonata. I knew I had played those notes!

Maciek · April 16, 2009, 02:44:17 PM

Is 451 also Schubert?

(I should really be off to bed...

)

sul G · April 16, 2009, 03:02:59 PM

No, it's not

Ok, maybe not! It's just a hunch that you might have...

And no, not the Rubbra. You're very much in the right sort of territory though.

I have a feeling that G61 might prove to be too hard... I'll tell you that it's called Elegy and let you try and find the composer. It's a really marvellous piece, one of my favourite 'blind' sheet music discoveries (i.e. I just bought it on a whim having never heard it and found that it was good!).

I don't think it's the Moeran, but I'll guess that anyway, just to be sure!

Guido · April 16, 2009, 03:16:23 PM

You're even closer now, sonny!

(but still no cigar)
