Guess the SYMPHONY - Bigger and BETTER

Tru, there are 26 samples. Most are quite a bit more than 5 seconds long, so this isn’t an attempt to randomly mess with your minds.

Good luck

Here’s the rar: Link

hopefully:
#1 - Brahms Requiem, 2nd movement
#15 - Bruckner #4, 1st movement
#17 - Strauss Blue Danube
#18 - Dukas Sorcerer’s Apprentice
#19 - Holst Jupiter

erm, I’ll have to have a think about the others…

iamcanadian · February 13, 2007, 8:25am

All Correct

#26 - Prokofiev #5, 2nd movement

Heh, I think that’s about all I can manage with my 95% piano / 5% orch listening.

Have at it then

al1 · February 13, 2007, 5:15pm

must have skipped over this:
#13 - Bach B minor Mass

Mephisto · February 13, 2007, 5:58pm

#03 - Mozart symph 40 symph 4th mvt
#16 - Beethoven 6th symph 4th mvt
#21 - Messiaen Turangalila symph 7th mvt - Turangalila 2

Alot of these sound great, meaning that I have plenty of symphonic music to listen too.

oh yeah, Turangalila - well-spotted meph.
