1. Symphony Of A Thousand = Symphony No. 8 in E-flat major by Gustav Mahler

Both answers are correct.  There are just #4 and #8 remaining, so it's wide open  now and you can answer both if you know them

This is a fun clip to watch, wonderful dancing, a good piece of music.....Link.....Dmitri Shostakovich - The Second Waltz.......

Oh apologies, I didnt know a competition was going on, I am caught in the middle....

A great clip indeed!  I was almost dizzy going round and round like that! lol

So P bubble, I am still spinning....

That was a beautiful clip. It certainly demonstrated what might be called the lighter side of Shostakovich. In case you didn't know, he also composed movie soundtrack music

4. The Symphony No. 6 in C major, D. 589,   by Franz Schubert

Bubble #4 is correct

Sergei Prokofiev-  Symphony No. 1 in D major (Op. 25) for the last one!

some lesser or unknown composers or works:

Josef Suk : Scherzo Fantastico op. 25  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj1Kh2NxGas&list=PLwR3-aOY644ju5QMOStiuZzMJbNhbaTSJ&index=1 I like this one.

Elfrida Andrée - Concert Ouverture in D-major (1873) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo24JByn0bY&list=PLcx9nUSJTRhERdUpgBiFlLz9ZtBg3cc3R&index=27 Pleasant.

Bernhard Henrik Crusell - Clarinet Concerto No.2 in F-minor, Op.5 (c. 1817)   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HtXSeZlnuE


Siegmund von Hausegger - Nature Symphony (1911) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vm716VRpX5E Almost an hours worth of dramatic/brooding music.

Richard Wetz - Symphony No. 3 (1922) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM5RkaviDD4 Another moody piece I like.

Leevi Madetoja - Symphony No. 2 (1916)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHbOYG9pVc8

The collection called UnsungMasterworks on YouTube has lots of interesting works like the three previous pieces. The person seems to gravitate to some of the same kinds of music I like and the artworks that accompanies some of these works is somewhat spacey or fantastical, which I like. I am going to have to listen to these when I have more time. Great to put on when I am reading. Another rainy day! Just perfect for a book reading/music listening session.

That first one is very good!  I will listen to the others later.
Thanks for discovering that for me.

Jacques Offenbach
Andante pour violoncelle et orchestre

This is a beautiful piece I just heard on Radio Suisse/

Jane Little, Atlanta's Venerable Bassist, Dies at 87

Ms. Little played 71 years to become the musician longest serving in a single orchestra.

MarsGal I have played the music of Suk on my programme and last week I played one of Crusell's clarinet concertos.  The others are unknown to me, but I always enjoy new composers.

I listened to at least three of Richard Wetz's works this afternoon.

Yes, I remember you playing a Suk or two on your program. While Crusell's name is familiar, I can't remember hearing him before. I missed much of the program last week because I got company. I found their names on a list of relatively little known or unknown composers. You actually play quite a few that I either never heard of or don't hear very often.

Darn.  I missed the quiz and today's concert too for stupid business stuff that's been taking up too much time lately.

Yes, MarsGal, I got the Shostakovich as soon as I saw it, also the Mahler, but by then the action was over.

I hope things will calm down now, and I'll be back in the audience again.

Hi Pat.  You didn't miss anything today because there was no programme.  How are chances of getting Joan to give it another try to rejoin us. We miss her witty input.

She misses you too, and has tried to sign on, or register, several times, getting the answer that she will get an email, which she never gets.

I just looked, and she's listed in the member list as JoanK3, so I'll encourage her to try to get on again.

Be sure to tell her she's listed as  JoanK3.  If she tries to use her old "name" it will not let her in.

Good point, Rammel.  She must have picked the new name, but old habits die hard. 

A youthful work by Mendelssohn is one of the highlights along with a family presentation from the Shostakovich clan. We'll also hear Beethoven's trial run of his 9th symphony all while enjoying a cup of coffee compliments of JS Bach.  This Sunday at 1:00 pm

Lots of favorites; I think I can make it.

You will be welcomed with open arms

Just copied tomorrow's list of music. Don I look at some of those names and glad I don't have to say them. After thinking I missed the program today because I thought it was Sunday I better not think tomorrow s Monday.

Oh good, company for listening together to the program

Hopefully I'll be there on time.  Aviv has temperature and I'll probably have to look after him in the evening.
The problem is that he is so talkative, he doesn't stop for a minute, even with classical music!

BUBBLE  how old is Aviv now? I remember when my youngest granddaughter was a chatterbox and now she seldom talks. Hope Aviv does not have a high temp. Have the site up ready and waiting for the best 3 hours of a Sunday afternoon.

Aviv was 4 last month.
He possibly is starting scarlet fever: there are 2 children  from his kinder garden that are home now because of it.

Illy finally decided to have a baby sitter staying with him at home so he can stay in his own room.  I have no access to their apartment: no lift to reach their floor.

The station is on already
