OMG, again, another time for you: It's about knowing the game and then checking the opus number by google. Who else shall I check whether you know the work? By entering the name? By checking whether you've entered one of thousend possibilities of spelling the name of a Mozart symphony?

It would be easy, even now if you know the composer, you can quickly find out the piece by guessing. There are not so many works in e.g. Schumann's opus. Only composers with a lot of works like Mozart or Haydn could be a bit more tricky then, but then their works are so very famous that you shouldn't need multiple choice for them. Going to level 1 again after failing would not make much difference, as it would be just a matter of time then... Come on, guys, nobody before has complained about the difficulty.

The point is that you should recognize the piece and then google the opus number, which is just the easiest method to check whether you really know the piece or just guessed. Multiple choice would be nonsense, as it would be far too easy and you could just try out all options until you've got the right...

You can't jump anything, but there will be much Mahler, Bruckner, Shostakovich and Prokofiev! :) But you need some knowledge of the whole classical repertoire :)

Come on, if you look at the Highscore, you can see that it is not too hard. It's difficult, but with some research and stylistic knowledge you can be successful even without know the pieces. If you got the piece, you can google the opus number, that's not the problem. If you think the first one is Mozart, you can easily find the correct piece. ;) You got the key and time signature, articulation (so that you can think of the instrument it's written for), ... Good luck! :) And don't give up too early! You can use this thread to give or ask for hints.

Ooooops, I'm such an idiot!!! http://www.dgsp-rheinland-pfalz.de/musikspiel/index.php

Hey, I've created a quiz where you have to identify themes of the classical standard repertoire. On higher levels there will be some nice extras as bass lines or figured bass samples. The game is in German, but it's easy to understand: If you've recognized the piece, just enter the composer's surname (as it is written on the German wikipedia, e.g. Tschaikowski (instead of Tchaikovsky)) and the Opus number, with a few exceptions: for Mozart, use the K. number, for Schubert D. and for Bach BWV, Handel HWV. If your entry is correct, you'll pass to the next level. If you don't know further, you can enter your name into the highscore. If you reach a higher score, you'll be able to enter again and it will overwrite your old entry. Enjoy!

Hey, I'm sorry, but I don't have any audio file. A friend will play it in a few months, then I will upload. PC-playback sounds horrible...

A piano piece consisting of 4 movements different in character. Klavierstück

Hello guys, thanks for listening to my music and thanks for the reviews! Let's first clear up: Exactly. The idea should remind of Prokofiev's 7th symphony, written for the youth. That said, some of Matt's remarks have become superfluous. The wrong bass notes were not on purpose, comes from switching between concert pitch and score pitch too often... but thanks for reminding, would not have noticed that. Concerning the trumpets, you're absolutely correct, C trumpets are the solution! Thanks. Meanwhile I've finished the second movement of the symphony. I'm very interested in what you think about it since it's quite different (I hope). http://www.dgsp-rheinland-pfalz.de/sinfonie2satz.mp3 http://www.dgsp-rheinland-pfalz.de/sinfonie2satz.pdf Enjoy!

Come on guys, J. Strauss' waltzes are wonderful pieces of music. The Radetzky March of his father is so extremly charming that we are moved by this music before we can even think of its depth. Not everything must be as complex and challenging as a Mahler symphony. I can love both a Strauss Polka (preferably conducted by C. Kleiber) AND a Mahler symphony AND a Tchaikovsky #5, being blamed for its seeming kitsch which nothing else but the composer's inscrutable world of though - and I'm proud of it.

I wanted to train my orchestration skills and thought of writing a funny little symphony using traditional harmonization and form - "for kids". That shall apologise the innocent character ;) Here's the first and the second movement... it's a raw version and I guess there's much to correct 8) Some instrumentalists could check if the parts are playable, for example...

The Dance of the Keys wanders through all of the 24 major and minor keys, similiar to Bach. Unlike the WTK, however, each key demands companionship. score: http://www.dgsp-rheinland-pfalz.de/tdt.pdf music: http://www.dgsp-rheinland-pfalz.de/tanzdertonarten.mp3 Just a little bit entertainment :cool:

Hi! Thanks, I'm glad you liked the music. Nikolas, I agree with all your points. I actually hate cleaning up scores - at least with finale, I'm not familiar enough with the software and almost always when I clean up a page, thousands of new "mistakes" come up. It's a lot of work and I think I will do it as soon as somebody is willing to play the piece - the PC doesn't need a cleant up score :D Concerning the library, it's Finale GPO, the "Steinway piano". Yeah, as long as you don't use the orchestral samples, GPO is quite good ;) Thanks again for listening and reviewing :)
