I had this idea that we could do something like the "Historical Quizz thread", but for music.
The rules are as follows: The one who answers the question first can post his own question. It doesn't matter how you pose your question (pictures, riddle,...) as long as it has to do with music.
Allright, here we go:
Question 1
Of which 20th century classical piece is this the opening movement?
If this proves too difficult, I'll post hints so stay tuned!
Good luck!

Rhapsody in Blue! Or I could be wrong.

Re: The Music Quizz Thread.
Ok what classical work translates from its original title (from a Western European language) to 'Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun'.
So what is the title (in the original language) and what composer wrote it?
It was written in the 1890's.

Re: The Music Quizz Thread.
Apres midi d'un faun, by Debussy. Beautiful work. I guess 70 hours of classical music on my harddrive helps with these questions.
Alright, tough one. What do Dvorak, Mozart, Haydn, Jimi Hendrix, Stamitz, and Hindemith all have in common (other than the fact that they all wrote music).
I'll give you a hint, look up some of Hindemith's Solo works.Harbringer

Something about the Organ or the Harpischord? Originally Posted by Harbringerxv8

Re: The Music Quizz Thread.
Oh fine, Prelude a l' isn't that important anyways.
Not the organ or the Harpsichord, but it is a certain instrument.Harbringer

Just a Viola?

Yep. Next time I'll pick an easier one, but it's your shot now. Bet you didn't know Hendrix was a violist...

Indeed, that was what kept me in doubt. I read somewhere about Hindemith playing the Viola D'amore, so I thought "what the hell" and gave that up. Originally Posted by Harbringerxv8

No, Charles Mingus. Obviously I have lost my place, but I went away for a week. As to the current question, I have no idea! Originally Posted by CaptainCernick

Re: The Music Quizz Thread.
Ok I got one, it's about Jazz.
What's the name of the Jazz musician and composer in my signature (not the one in my avatar)?
It's fairly obvious, but as you can tell, he played the Double Bass. I'll give two clues: He played in the hard bop era (late 50's and the 60's), and he learned Cello as a teenager. I’ll give more if no one gets it.

Re: The Music Quizz Thread.
Well, a simple google search on "Hindemith Solo works" turned up quite a bit about the viola, as he was the most famous composer for the instrument.

Re: The Music Quizz Thread.
Hmm...let's suppose I had the right answer, shall we?
The next question is supposed to be for a "broader" public.
My name was inspired by a hallucinatory substance.
In turn a really old lady was named after me.
I'm looking for the title of a song, obviously... -

I'll take a wild guess: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?
