Classical music work ABC game

[JohnM]

Octet - take your pick! I'll favour either the Beethoven or the Mendelssohn!

[ParryHotter]

YES!!! Another Schumann title coming.

Papillons Op. 2 - Another fun piece to play, light, fast, beautiful, everything all rolled into one (it even plays a role in Schumann's later work mentioned earlier, Carnival Op. 9)

BTW I was not aware Beethoven wrote an octet! Need to check this out...

[giovannimusica]

*Quodlibet* by JSBach from Goldberg Variations.

[ParryHotter]

This was the other one I really wanted to nab:

Rhapsody in Blue - the one the only George Gershwin

One of my favorites!!!

[giovannimusica]

Semiramide by Gioacchino ROSSINI

[Krummhorn]

Toccata und Fugue in D Minorl ... Bach (JS, of course)

[rojo]

'Una voce poco fa' from Il Barbieri di Siviglia, by Rossini

I think we can allow arias, no? And different languages as well. Because otherwise, continuing may be impossible...

So, for future reference, we can use any part of a classical musical work.

[acc]

OK, here's another stretch:

Vingt-quatre Pièces de Fantaisie by Louis Vierne.

[giovannimusica]

Alright - Here's a REAL stretch: Wagner's *Walkuerentritt* transcribed for organ by Edwin Lemare

[acc]

Walkuerentritt

The typo is quite funny, if you understand German


OK, next letter: X. X??

Ah! Got it: Xerxes, an opera by Georg Friedrich Händel.

[rojo]

(The) Yoeman of the Guard, operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan

[acc]

And the last one - (drum rolls) - Zéphyrs by Marcel Dupré.

[giovannimusica]

Ok, hows about individual works using last letter of previous work posting as beginning letter as in the other thread about composers?

SAGESSES by Charles Tournemire

[rojo]

Alrighty-

Songs Without Words, by Felix Mendelssohn

[Krummhorn]

yeesh ... multiple "s"

Ok, got one that doesn't end in "s"

Songs My Mother Taught Me by Antonin Dvorak
