Wrong continent and wrong century John.

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

Since it is a gentle note played on the pianoforte at high G (4 leger lines above the treble clef) it is clearly later than the 18th c (which generally would go only up to high C - 2 leger lines above the treble clef). Without a little more, it is difficult to come to a firm conclusion as to its identity. However, since this thread exists within the "Music Appreciation" recension it seems churlish not to make one or two positive comments. It is played with great delicacy and sensitivity, teasing out in a clever way the ambience and bell-like qualities of the overtones characteristic of the Steinway grand upon which it is obviously played.

All quite true, Baz. And from Andy's comment that it isn't European or C19th ('Fur Elise' dates from 1810), we can probably assume it's American and C20th? Could be Asian or Antipidean, but something tells me not.

And if it's not too obscure, we'd probably stick to Gershwin, Ives, Copland, Villa-Lobos or Grainger? Or loads of others. Unless it's Feldman?

Spot on! Not too obscure at all. You won't be needing my other clues then. Only the name of the piece to get. I might as well post the first 4 notes since I've already prepared it: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/andyd.music/notes1-4.mp3 |

Close enough CD  "As she makes clear in her linear notes, attention was paid to both the choice of instrument and the recording venue, and the decision to opt for a Hamburg Steinway at the Krannert Center, University of Illinois was certainly an excellent one." Well spotted Baz, though you didn't get the actual piano she used did you? http://www.moderecords.com/catalog/136feldman.html |
