Name that piece! The game

[Brian]

F. COUPERIN for 2 keyboards (Pièce croisée)  Le tic-tac-choc from Ordre 18, maybe?

You're oh so very close! ...It is a Couperin piece for one keyboard; shall we continue or shall I pass the baton?

[listener]

keep on going, I'm ready for bed here.   I've posted several recently and could use a break and some time to get a few more ready before my free trial ends.   I have found the converter and editor at nch.com.au to be relatively to work with.
My Couperin holdings are mainly LP  sets (Erato = Bladine Verlet (?), Alan Curtis on Vox, Rafael Puyana on Philips) and I'm not going to stay up to polayb play them all.  Les Barricades mysterieuses, perhaps=?

Ah - I have a Couperin disc. Threw it on and it is Musete de Taverni. I love it when I hear something I have forgotten about. Saves me the money of having to go out and buy it!

If the pianist is Alexandre Tharaud, you heard the same recording I posted!

Well... go on then, ukrneal...

Same one! I just plum forgot about it. I enjoyed the listen.

Well, I thought I'd throw in something a bit wild and crazy. When I first heard it, i was stunned. Anyway, here it is...http://www.4shared.com/audio/gNy3Yabc/Mystery_Clip_3mcu.html

I can't decide if it sounds to me rather hugarian or rather carpatian. But rather archaical in both cases. If I had to shot I would shot hungarian.

[listener]

Peter Maxwell Davies?

You are close - in the right neighborhood more or less.

Peter Maxwell Davies?

Nope.

I fear without hints, it may be quite difficult (let me know if you want one yet). I have another clip ready to go once people have had a chance to offer some guesses (although let me know if I should post it - you will be amazed again perhaps).

My very first thought was about Polish carpathian mountains.

Little hint - why not - if I'm not going in right direction. Too early for another clip, I suppose.

Not Polish, but Austro-Hungarian (though technically from Bohemia I believe). Here's another: Davies was born in the wrong century to have written this.

[Hattoff]

I am thinking of Telemann, he wrote some very interesting war music of a similar ilk. Not very near the Carpathians though not too far away either.

Not Telemann (what an interesting guess). But getting much closer.

This description seems appropriate for Krenek.

This description seems appropriate for Krenek.

Also born in the wrong century (though place of birth and all would fit well, I admit). Believe it or not, Telemann is much closer (though still not quite there). Here's another clue - was an important composer for the violin.

[mszczuj]

Krenek was born in 1900. This was still 19th century. Do you mean our composer was born before year 1801?

Yup.

[Hattoff]

Had to look it up but Biber fits nicely.

[listener]

Biber would have been my answer too, possible the Battaglia - very Ives-ish

There we go! I was blown away, I must admit, when I first heard this. It was through one of Todd's post a couple of years ago that I first discovered it and it is remarkable. What I played was the second movement from the Battalia a 10. Here is the third movement: http://www.4shared.com/audio/ni9y7zzu/Follow_up_test_item.html. It is from this CD:

That was a group effort - so either of you are welcome to post the next one.

[Hattoff]

 Biber, another composer to investigate, so much music so little time.

I'll upload a file I prepared earlier:

I hope you don't mind, Listener?
