I read Martle's NONONONONONONONONONONONO as Luigi Nono, and hence his response to YOYOYOYOYOYOYOYOYO.

Personally, I'll go for that famous composer, Oscar Yeo, always known by his first initial and surname only.  Wink

But then again, I'm clueless.

I don't have any Berio in my collection, but had mentally 'logged' this recording because of the Brahms clarinet sonata transcription, so it wasn't too difficult, following Richard's clue, to track it down!

See, IGI, that's why you're a brilliant teacher and why I'm just a humble professor. Makes perfect sense!


Well, I've just put an order in with the River People for the transcriptions disc.

(I'm sure there's an orchestration of the 2nd sonata, but not by Berio?)

Well let's try:

yo-yo yo-yo yo-yo yo-yo yo-yo myo-yo myo-yo myo-myo myo-myo myo-myo Milhaud-Milhaud Milhaud-Milhaud Milhaud-Milhaud MILHAUD-MILHAUD.

The Member should relax his mind more. The true composer's name is much closer to "yo-yo" than Milhaud's is. He could perhaps try interpolating "an'": "yo yo an' yo yo an' yo yo" - thus.

Hang on, that's dangerously close to rap is it not?

Ah! Mr Inquisitor has seen the significance of our yo-yo mantra. Perhaps the answer came to him in a dream, but anyway it is right; we would be interested to learn how he hit upon it.

It wasn't a dream, but reading Mr Autoharp's post suggesting Jon Leifs that got me thinking on the 'Jon' lines. I also recalled that mahlerei, who's recently rejoined here, recommended a recording of the Symphonie concertante in a discussion about the Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony at TOP. My credit card is itching...

Ah! Mr Inquisitor has seen the significance of our yo-yo mantra. Perhaps the answer came to him in a dream, but anyway it is right; we would be interested to learn how he hit upon it. Grove tells us that "Jongen is remembered above all for his organ music, especially the Sonata Eroica and the Symphonie Concertante, which have become enduring works of the repertory." That is indeed so since the Belgian radio seems to broadcast the Symphonie at least once a week and certainly more often than Radio 3 broadcasts Ravel's la Valse, even. Grove does not inform us of its key; perhaps some one knows it.


Now Mr Grew's clues all make sense! I have to admit that although I perform Jongen's Sonata Eroica and a few smaller pieces, he never even entered my mind. Strange that, especially since listening to the snatch again now makes him the most obvious candidate!

Quiet here...

Puzzle 321: SendSpace or Rapidshare

This sounds just like that ear-jerking piece I once heard when I had the misfortune to take one of my sons on the carousel at Hollycombe Steam Fair! Even then I coudn't place it.

Really Baz, you may as well have just told us outright that 328 is the John Mahon Clarinet Concerto No 2 in F major... Wink

Which movement Ollie? Tongue
2 - Andante (The birks of Endermay) [4'13] at a guess but I do believe we're only after the actual pieces here... Wink

331 is Delibes - the dolls's music from Coppelia.  Tongue


Finished your marking then, Mr I?

Yes! (Well, I've finished marking the Maths. The writing assessment can wait until tomorrow)


However, there is no theme and you are not correct on the other two.


Back to the drawing board...

297 was apparently completed in 1997. It is a violin concerto, but its title is required, in addition to the name of the composer.

I haven't listened to it, but is it the Janacek, Wanderings of a Little Soul?

Tommo

Don't be silly, Tommo. If it was the Janacek it would have been got long ago, innit? No, it was also started in the 1990's, as far as I am aware.

An easy 20 points though Smiley
