How well do you know Classical Music? A Quiz... 

Yes indeed!

5:48 is also the first movement not the third

@@philipyao5989 Good grief all true...apologies everyone! But should also point out the ballet reference isn't part of the quiz answer, so shouldn't affect any marks.

This!

4:13 It is "Clair de lune", not "Claire de lune"

Ah I missed that, but isn't there something fishy about the numbering of Bruckner symphonies anyway? Like with Dvorak, aren't there two ways of numbering them? Wouldn't have helped me anyway.

@@rjr1967 There are multiple versions of many Bruckner symphonies, but there's no problem with the numbering. This is number 4.

Agreed

Yep pretty shite quiz when the quizmaster doesn’t know his own answers

Also number three title is nit correct

@@robertdawsonscott9068 dude it’s a typo his content is generally of very good quality

Indeed should be the 4th, movement is correct tho

8%!!!!!!

That's very kind, thank you!

Thanks for corrections...accuracy is important. I did the text elements of the video in a hurry at the end, so was sloppier than I should have been. 17 and 18 are I believe both from the final movements

It is Bruckner's 4th symphony.

My son's partner - who's fantastic at music - only got 7%! That's when I knew the quiz was hard!

That's the spirit! Be interested if you took the quiz again, how improved your mark is...?

%13 i play piano so i don’t really listen orchestral musice

I’ve played this symphony twice and could’ve i sworn it was mozart lol

Exactly. And it's pretty fast

@@enjoyclassicalmusic6006 Very stressful. Missed pieces I have played, and missed pieces I love (how could I not get Shostakovich..?) - didn't even place Beethoven's 5, how is that even possible?

I seemed to struggle with exactly the opposite to you. Did better on the Romantics and worse on the Classics and Renaissance. 74%, maybe 72%.

Wow, I think we have a new leader! Apologies for the Bruckner error, that must have been a relief...

@@enjoyclassicalmusic6006 It's a tie with johnhayward3754. He also got 94%.

Like the thought! Be interested if you spot any of the clips when you do...

Dayum congrats!

I don't recognize people, and didn't go back, but likely Suzuki

Excellent score (points, not music)! I think those final three in Eb are the hardest

I'm glad I'm not alone 😂 I too thought it was Mahler (though I guessed the ending of the 2nd)

@@sylvaintaif8128 Me too. Not a Wagner fan, though.

Hhh, sorry, no. I think guessing Barenboim is easier than guessing the piece, even though the piece itself is an obvious one with more context

No shame in 28%...a 'sleepy' me only got 30%, and I wrote it!

Ah ha, you get the chance to watch them all and then take the quiz again 😁

I didn't remember the composer was Borodin, despite playing the piece less than a year ago!

That would be pointless, because no one ever listens to them, and therefore has no stored memory about details of their music. ;)

@@Quotenwagnerianer By weird coincidence I went to a performance of Florence Price's 1st symphony two days ago, and thought it was excellent. Expect a video in 6 months...😁

@@Quotenwagnerianer To say that "no one ever listens to them" is categorically false. I certainly do. The fact that a fair number of listeners would be stymied by the quiz would be a net positive in two ways. The first is that it would draw attention to the fact that they're unfamiliar with a large, important swathe of under appreciated, often excellent music. The second is that said listeners would also, as a result of that very quiz, be exposed to some of that music and likely would want to hear more. Which would be a small but positive step towards defeating the centuries old musical misogyny that's still so pervasive in our society. Prior to the 1970s, the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico was a sparsely populated area that few had ever visited or even heard of. "No one ever went there..."

@@thewildcellist It still makes absolutely zero sense. You are already a miniscule minority within the general minority of us classical music listeners. And being able to recognize a piece requires repeated listening over years in many cases. You will not find enough people who have listened to a sizeable amont of female composers for the required length and time to be able to extrapolate excerpts and recognize them. It's just totally unrealistic. And I'm also totally against this political movement that you have to expose people to female composers. Why? That ship has sailed. The repertoire established. The rest is just a question of quality: How good is it? That alone should be the deciding factor, whether something gets play, not whether something was written by a woman. I performed works by women, listened to female composers. They are forgotten for a reason. And that is not because they are women. It's the same reason why no one plays more music by Bruch beside his 1st Violinconcerto or the Scottish Fantasy. There is too much better stuff out there.

@@enjoyclassicalmusic6006 I heard one of her symphonic poems a month ago and thought it was just as mediocre as Edward McDowell's stuff. And now she gets more play than him because she was a black woman not because her music is better.

I think that's the most impressive thus far, well done!

Nice! Finally someone topped my score.

Like I said in the description, I got 30% when I first 'pretended' to take the quiz!
