Quiz: Mystery scores

[Luke]

Still no, for me, but it must be something on my laptop. Some filter from work? They don't normally filter out attachments here, but maybe that tango was just too lascivious for a school environment. I'll see when i get home.

[Luke]

They're working fine at home, so it must have been some work thing.

The second one looks a bit....off. Is it a transcription/arrangement/part of a film score/something similar?

[BWV 1080]

Nope, but it's not a Tango (kind of funny to think of it played like one)

[BWV 1080]

The three pieces are different musically but share an important common attribute

[Luke]

I have an idea what it is but finding it hard to track the other two (if my idea is correct)

[BWV 1080]

There are videos on YouTube of the composers performing the other two tunes

[Luke]

I'll tell you what is odd - I've listened to quite a number of recordings of El enterriano now, they all cleave faithfully to the same tune, the same key, the same everything - but it is not the tune in the sheet music, nothing like it at all. Is this any connection to what you are hinting at?

[Luke]

A new series with a simple connection, and all relatively familiar names. I think once you've got one, you'll probably get most of them.

No, think about why El enterriano is important

[Luke]

Yes, I have, I get that, that's the area I was exploring before. But the fact that all the recorded versions I can find bear no relation to it is plain weird!

Also many people, depending on location, associate 1&2 with a specific period of the liturgical calendar

[Luke]

No takers on my new ones? I'd say number 4 is the easiest. If it helps, it's a Prelude.

Also the source for my excerpt was IMSLP, supposedly this is Rosendo Mendizabal's published version

I'm afraid I'm clueless on BWV1080's mystery scores.

As for yours, Luke, I'm still searching...

New mystery 1 - I thought it might be by CPE Bach... I found his polonaises in A major (there are three, two have been recorded), listened to them, and came up empty. I suppose it could be the unrecorded one (H 368), but that doesn't seem likely.

No idea on New mystery 2.

New mystery 3 - I Googled the lyrics and, short of it being a traditional Scottish song, I couldn't tell you much about it. Adding 'arrangement' to the search didn't help.

New mystery 4 - Looks a *lot* like Scriabin... but I checked out all of his preludes in G# minor and B major, and your score isn't any of those.

No idea on New mystery 5.

[BWV 1080]

another 2 clues on mine -

the other two pieces would have been considered more disreputable than #3

you would be mocked if you played the rhythm in the pickup measure of #2 as notated

[Luke]

New mystery 4 - Looks a *lot* like Scriabin... but I checked out all of his preludes in G# minor and B major, and your score isn't any of those.

Interesting. That's all I can say. You're right....and wrong.

New mystery 4 - Looks a *lot* like Scriabin...

I thought so, as well.
