MT's New "Name that Tune" game

[mahlertitan]

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.

Song 1 the easiest

[mahlertitan]

Song 2 little harder

Song 1 - I know it, but can't place it.

Song 2 - Something by Vivaldi?

Song 3 - No idea ...

Song 4 - No idea ...

[BachQ]

I like #4 and demand to know what it is.

(#1 is easy).

Clip 1

Beethoven "Waldstein" sonata

Clip 2

Haydn Symphony no.21 last movement

Clip 3

DVORAK Suite in A major "American"
Clip 4

Robert Fuchs, Symphony no.3

[Mark]

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!

[BachQ]

Clip 4

Robert Fuchs, Symphony no.3

Would not have guessed that in 3.1 million years ........

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

Just kidding. I thought it was Bruckner.

speaking of bruckner, there is an album of bruckner's piano pieces on naxos.

[Lilas Pastia]

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.

[Mozart]

Song 2 - Something by Vivaldi?

What are you nuts? I didn't know it either but that Vivaldi?

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.

[Mozart]

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
