I've got a recording of Mozart's so-called Symphony 37. It's only the opening two minutes because the rest of it is now reckoned to be by Michael Haydn. There's a musical example of a severed head.

Tartini could be tricky....the Devil's Trill Sonata?
May I ask which Caccini we need to search for, martle?

Giulio Caccini has Euridice, as Offenbach has Orfeus in the Underworld. But I can't imagine Copland prancing around there....

Don, you're successfully off the works turf. Keep delving.

I'm clueless too. As it doesn't seem to be about pieces they've written, I wondered whether it was to do with changes of surname (Offenbach and Copland) or whether they could form a string quartet (Offenbach on the cello, Tartini on the violin...).

Nice ideas, Tony. But no dice. And you're right: nothing to do with their music. |
