Classic OR Not? (Music Quiz) Part 2 (MEDIUM) 

I still need to listen to Shostakovich to find some confusing fragments for future quizzes))

Thanks for the result. Quite on the level!

Oh yeah ? Well, I got 23! (I'm allowed to carry over, right?).

Using a division into years of melody composition is a much more accurate criterion, but more boring. But if it’s more convenient for you, then I’m all for it. And I specifically added the year of composition for each melody. Thanks for result.

somehow i didn't recognize it even though i've seen it in concert. Must have been a while

I really didn’t think long about the intro, because I’ve remembered this melody for a long time))

Thanks for the comment and new ideas. I also think about quizzes not only on classical music, but also on the music that surrounds it. For example, I myself love various instrumentals. But here I need to come up with an interesting format, and this is a little more difficult))

I took this version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ahVRy4Sy3js.html

Thanks a lot. I knew the Saint-Saens Aquarium, but this was the first time I heard about Prologue. It will be interesting to include both of these compositions in one quiz))

Thank you for your comment. I understand your feelings and comments perfectly. But just try to look at this video through the eyes not of a classics lover, but of a music and film lover who just wants to have fun. By the way, about "William", I can really come up with something funny))

@@adiosmusictestthanks. I’ve greatly enjoyed your other videos. This one just left me feeling slightly uneasy. I guess it stems from my feeling that we shouldn’t put up arbitrary barriers to people enjoying whatever they want to listen to and I think a lot of people recoil from listening to music when they hear it’s “classical” (and on the other side some classical snobs probably don’t want to “stoop” to listen to contemporary film music). So my comment was more along the lines of trying to break down arbitrary barriers that could impede people’s openness to a category of music they might not normally consider listening to. But it’s clear you were not trying to do that, and I think you’re saying i should just lighten up and of course you are right! Bring on the William video.

This is not a definition. I simply take classical melodies before 1950, and I will not use classical melodies written after 1950 in the quiz. Thanks for result.

The term "classical" is a broad and all encompassing term used to describe any musical composition that was composed before the modern day. So anything before 1950 fits into that category.
