Guess the Composer (Classical music Test) Part VI (MEDIUM) 

Thanks again. Failed to spot Dvorak. Lucky guess with Sviridov. 14

This one was really difficult. 6/15.

Great Video. I never heard the Elgar symphony but the second I heard it I knew it had to be him, so English sounding haha!

15/15 and feeling smug....

13/15, missed Mahler and Dvorak

14/15 ...I was surprised by Dvorak, too! These are fun. The only thing I'd say is that by displaying the composer's names in different colours, you make it easier and easier. On the 10th or 11th go, you've only a handful of names not previously played to guess from. A slightly harder and more consistent game would be had if you listed 15 composers without highlighting any previously-played ones, and in fact allowing for the possibility of the same composer to be played multiple times. That is, a pool of 15 _possible_ composer's is displayed without colouring or highlighting, and 15 pieces are played... but maybe those 15 pieces were written by only 11 of the displayed composers. Just a thought. It's fun, anyway! Thank you for the time spent putting these together.

Only missed one. Thanks for sharing.

This one seemed a bit harder to me, or maybe I just wasn't fully awake yet! 10/15 Two composers I had never heard of - Sviridov and Weinberg. I liked the Sviridov piece, though. Thanks for the quiz and please keep them coming!

Thankfully this isn't a Symphonic Lit class. Always more to learn. Thank you for these.

Thank you for Mahler and Bruckner! Mahler 1. Symphony Was a great choice. I would be happy about Mahler appearing in the next video again;D maybe with his 8th or 3rd. Both marvellous pieces!

10/15

"Fifth like Antonin and Dimitri"... I see what you did there 🤣

11/15 Kicking myself at getting the Berlioz wrong, I should know that one! The Weinberg 'cello concerto sounds lovely, will have to look it up

that was a hard one, good job!

14 out of 15. The only one I didn't register was the Rachmaninoff, because I have never heard the Vocalise in the orchestral version without vocals before. The one that took me the longest to guess was the Mozart, because I hadn't looked at the list. So it took me the whole 15 seconds and a glance at the list. Because it could have been Haydn (shows you a lot about how unindividual many works of that early classical period were). The second longest was the Liszt which took me 10 seconds until I reconized where that was going. The others I recognized in between the first 2 seconds. Yes. That happens when you listen to classical music since you could think. Thanks Mom and Dad. ;)

Really hard. That changes from these many classic tests always featuring the same well-known pieces.

Thanks ❤❤❤🎉

I missed 1. I'm not as familiar with all of Dvorak's music as I should be.

The Zadok recording was bizarre, about half speed, conducted by someone who knows very little about Handel performance.

Got them all

Thanks : you made me discover Sviridov … nice waltz !

Hardly got half of them. Thanks for enlighting us! Weinberg??

Tough one, but my favourite symphony of all time was up there! (The 4th in order.)

Another fine video. Good mixture of easy and harder choices. I got 13 composers right (and identified 10 works) out of 15. Oddly enough, I expected to trip on Sviridov or Weinberg, but it's Dvorak that fooled me! Please, more! Maybe more specific groupings, for instance '20th century opera' or 'string quartets'. When the selection is very broad, as it is here, luck plays a greater role.

8 out of 15, not bad as none of these are my type really

Got the Sviridov and Weinberg by process of elimination. Guessed the Bruckner, Dvorak and Mozart but forgot specifically what they were. This quiz was a bit harder than the other five.

I got 11/15!!! This really was a challenge!

14/15. Thought 2nd piece might be Mozart. Lucky guess with Sviridov (it was either him or Weinberg as I know neither).

Good one! A bit harder than the previous quizzen, I got only 11/15. Early Mozart threw me off, like mr. Liszt also observed it sounded a bit Baroquish. Also I don't know Weinberg, so I attributed some pieces I did not recognize to him... Next quiz some Vassiliy Kalinnikov and Josef Suk please?

I had Mozart, Dvorak, Elgar, Sviridov, and Weinberg wrong, but more embarrassingly, could anyone tell me the name of the piece played at the beginning lol

I'll bet you play the viola.

Why always orchestral music though? Why not quartets and instrumental pieces?

very disappointed in myself for not recognising the rachmaninoff, i played that in my recital last month 😔 but hA id know mahler 1 and totentanz anywhere

This one had too much orchestral. What about more opera, choral, solo instrumental, smaller ensemble works? Give us a mix, please.
