@@philipyao5989 Good grief all true...apologies everyone! But should also point out the ballet reference isn't part of the quiz answer, so shouldn't affect any marks.
I got to the St John Passion and then I was lost. The opening of the passion HAS to be one of the most moving openings of any work written. Oh those wailing oboe's.
Ah I missed that, but isn't there something fishy about the numbering of Bruckner symphonies anyway? Like with Dvorak, aren't there two ways of numbering them? Wouldn't have helped me anyway.
I got all but the Monteverdi, and the opening one, which sounded like the 4th symphony to me too...but other than that, a lot of fun to take these quizzes, congrats on 1 year of good content and here's to another one!!!
56% and I'm quite proud! I missed some obvious ones (e.g. Mozart 41 lol) but I call classical music my greatest passion so it's still alright... great quiz! Normally, they are too easy but this was amazing!
72%, assuming that the symphony in the first has the wrong number. I'm shocked at myself for not recognising Haydn. This is quite a hard quiz because it's difficult to recognise short bits of music out of context, even if they're extremely familiar.
@@enjoyclassicalmusic6006 Very stressful. Missed pieces I have played, and missed pieces I love (how could I not get Shostakovich..?) - didn't even place Beethoven's 5, how is that even possible?
enjoyed this, thanks. I thought it was funny the way the last four pieces all end in the same key and you choose the finales ... they all seemed to blur together. And even though I recognized the texture of the Strauss chord I couldn't quite place where I'd heard it. 68%.
I did 8 answers in total, but, I say if the piece that you are showing started from the beginning is slightly easier , most of us that love classical music will say the name of the piece or the composers on that single principle. This was fun, keep it up amigos😎👍🏼🎸
To be precise: (1) The first excerpt is definitely from Bruckner's 4th Symphony, "The Romantic"; (2) The translated title of Stravinsky's seminal ballet is "The Rite of Spring," not "Rites"; (3) It's J.S. Bach's "St. John Passion," not "St. John's"; (4) The "Climax" of Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" is widely known as "The Liebestod"; (5) Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet" is a "Fantasy Overture," not a "ballet."
76%. I was more embarrassed by the ones I *didn't* know....like the Bruckner, Wagner & Sibelius.....but was proud of how I guessed Haydn and Monterverdi by their style alone.....even if I couldn't pick the exact piece it was. Thank you so much for this amazing quiz.
Missed the Dvorak. Got the Tchaikovsky but not the work. Guessed Mass in B Minor instead of the St. John Passion. Very proud to guess that the Haydn was 104. And I was sure the Bruckner was from the 4th. Glad to have this confirmed by the comments. Please give us more quizzes.
52% I did miss some easy ones (cuz I didn’t listen to the whole thing like Mozart 41) And hard ones cuz I haven’t checked them out yet Great quiz and classical music is my favourite ❤
Wow I barely got the mean with 54 pts... (I got the first one correct according to the replies and I checked :) What was funny was to reaaally try and listen 3, 4 times (the 15th and 24th) knowing I knew them but quite not putting 2 and 2 together to give the track's name aha ! Also its funny to realize how different the pace or the volume of certain instruments impact our memory. The tracks that got me most confused (again, 15th and 24th) sounded very different to the versions I'm used to :) Either way, fun game !
Feeling disgustingly smug at 94% - couldn't place the Haydn symphony but knew the composer; knew the music but didn't know it was the Humoresque by Dvorak. Was baffled that I had got the wrong Bruckner symphony until I saw the correction below. Thanks.
Fun...I got 62%. One quibble: changing the key of a piece is quite unfair. For example, I can ID the Andante of Beethoven's 7th from just the first chord (Am 2nd inversion); if it were transposed I'm not at all sure I'd recognize it.
16/25 If its Mozart or Bach I don't know it. As long as its after the mid 1800s I know it probably. If its Bruckner, I know the exact measure number by heart!
A measly 62%. As a somewhat musical yoof I'd have got something fairly respectable back then. As a 64 year-old I searched high and low for Borodin but kept coming up Bakunin.
OK, a few nits to pick here. Props for championing classical music, but accuracy is important. 1. I didn't clock this on listening but did check: as someone else pointed out, this is Bruckner 4, not Bruckner 5. 3. The Rite of Spring, or Le sacre du printemps, not Rites of Spring 8. The Dance of Knights is from Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet, which is a ballet (cf. Tchaikovsky below) 10. Generally referred to in English as the St John Passion, not St John's Passion (because it is not the passion OF St John, it is the passion ACCORDING TO St John). Also, you've mentioned the movement in other cases, so why not name which chorus this is? 13. Lakmé, not Lakme. 17.+18. Might have mentioned where in the symphony we are here. 19. 1st movement of Winter, not 3rd. 20. Tchaikovsky's Romeo & Juliet is a Fantasy Overture, not a ballet. Someone somewhere may have choreographed it as a ballet, but that's not what it originally was.
Thanks for corrections...accuracy is important. I did the text elements of the video in a hurry at the end, so was sloppier than I should have been. 17 and 18 are I believe both from the final movements
I got 16/25 in which i gave myself 0.5 points when i got the composer. Funily enough i wrote Puccini in tristan and isolde, meanwhile the 18th which is Sibelius i wrote as tristan and isolde. Idkwtf the 24th was... (correct marked in +, incorrect marked in x, composer crrect marked in x/+) 1. Beethoven symphony 8 x 2. Grieg piano concerto + 3. Stravinsky Rite of spring + 4. Violin concerto 13 Mozart x 5. Debussy Claire de Lune + 6. Dvorak Humoresque + 7. Chopin Funeral March + 8. Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet Dance of the Knights + 9. Berlioz symphony fantastique x 10.

Fun! An actual list at the end would be nice so the viewer doesn't have to watch the video for each answer. The excerpts plucked from the middle were tricky - like Mozart 41! 😮 Now, for a _challenge:_ 25 excerpts of works by historical female composers!
@@Quotenwagnerianer By weird coincidence I went to a performance of Florence Price's 1st symphony two days ago, and thought it was excellent. Expect a video in 6 months...😁
@@Quotenwagnerianer To say that "no one ever listens to them" is categorically false. I certainly do. The fact that a fair number of listeners would be stymied by the quiz would be a net positive in two ways. The first is that it would draw attention to the fact that they're unfamiliar with a large, important swathe of under appreciated, often excellent music. The second is that said listeners would also, as a result of that very quiz, be exposed to some of that music and likely would want to hear more. Which would be a small but positive step towards defeating the centuries old musical misogyny that's still so pervasive in our society. Prior to the 1970s, the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico was a sparsely populated area that few had ever visited or even heard of. "No one ever went there..."
@@thewildcellist It still makes absolutely zero sense. You are already a miniscule minority within the general minority of us classical music listeners. And being able to recognize a piece requires repeated listening over years in many cases. You will not find enough people who have listened to a sizeable amont of female composers for the required length and time to be able to extrapolate excerpts and recognize them. It's just totally unrealistic. And I'm also totally against this political movement that you have to expose people to female composers. Why? That ship has sailed. The repertoire established. The rest is just a question of quality: How good is it? That alone should be the deciding factor, whether something gets play, not whether something was written by a woman. I performed works by women, listened to female composers. They are forgotten for a reason. And that is not because they are women. It's the same reason why no one plays more music by Bruch beside his 1st Violinconcerto or the Scottish Fantasy. There is too much better stuff out there.
@@enjoyclassicalmusic6006 I heard one of her symphonic poems a month ago and thought it was just as mediocre as Edward McDowell's stuff. And now she gets more play than him because she was a black woman not because her music is better.
94% ... missed the first, thought it was the 8th, but they all sound the same to me apart from the 7th. Knew 17 was Shostakovich but couldn't place it ...
22/25 but they went by so fast I'm amazed I did so well. Too much emphasis on choral & orchestral works. Way too heavy on Romanticism IMO, but still no Schubert, Schumann, Verdi, Brahms, Mahler? As usual with such exercises, nothing before Vivaldi except - a happy choice - Monterverdi (none of these intro level courses acknowledge that the inventory of great Western composers begins with Hildegard & Machaut, thru Dufay & Josquin, etc). Also nothing 20C after Shostakovich, and why no Bartok, Janacek, Schoenberg (ok, its a given you wouldnt include Schoenberg). But you had to include the ever-lovin' Sabre Dance -- ah well. ;-)
74% (maybe only 72% - I let through Flower Aria instead of Duet. Dance of the knights is titled Montagues and Capulets in the 2nd suite, so I think that's definitely ok. I did get Bruckner 4 right though.) I am a little disappointed in what I have forgotten. I have played Shostakovich 7 and Mozart 41, but didn't recognise either. I feel particularly bad about dissing Mozart, because the snippet sounds better than I remember. I also confused Mozart and Haydn (wrote down Mozart for the Haydn question), though I was never great at distinguishing them, except to say that Haydn's Horn parts are quite often way to high for an amateur player. I'll forgive myself for confusing Mahler and Shostakovich, as I had conversations with people about how Mahler 6 definitely has moments which Shostakovich sounds like. I also couldn't remember the composers of Polotsvian Dances or Sabre Dance, despite having played both less than a year ago.
1 is the 4th Symphony, not 5th. 19 is the 1st movement of the Winter concerto, not 3rd. 20 is an Overture-Fantasy, not a ballet. To me it looks like the author should rather improve his own erudition before quizzing others.
03:55 this scherzo is from Bruckner's 4th symphony, not 5th.
05:54 not a ballet. It is a Fantasy Overture.
Yes indeed!
5:48 is also the first movement not the third
@@philipyao5989 Good grief all true...apologies everyone! But should also point out the ballet reference isn't part of the quiz answer, so shouldn't affect any marks.
This!
4:13 It is "Clair de lune", not "Claire de lune"
I got to the St John Passion and then I was lost. The opening of the passion HAS to be one of the most moving openings of any work written. Oh those wailing oboe's.

One correction: number 1 is Bruckner’s 4th symphony not his 5th
Ah I missed that, but isn't there something fishy about the numbering of Bruckner symphonies anyway? Like with Dvorak, aren't there two ways of numbering them? Wouldn't have helped me anyway.
@@rjr1967 There are multiple versions of many Bruckner symphonies, but there's no problem with the numbering. This is number 4.

Not going to list the piece so I don't spoil it for others, but believe you made a mistake in the answer for #1. Right composer listed, wrong piece.

Missed 1,15-18 😢
1 is the 4th Symphony, not 5th. 19 is the 1st movement of the Winter concerto, not 3rd. 20 is an Overture-Fantasy, not a ballet. To me it looks like the author should rather improve his own erudition before quizzing others.
