Fantastic idea. Keep it up !

The piece at 6:06 is probably not from Purcell, but believed to be written by Croft. th-cam.com/video/s2JReXOutes/w-d-xo.html#:~:text=This%20ground%20in%20the%20key,assigns%20the%20work%20to%20Croft.

I missed 1. I'm not as familiar with all of Dvorak's music as I should be.

15/15, as usual. Sorry, I was late.

too easy

This is difficult, only the first 'letter', but we have to guess if you use the original language title or English title (Smetana probably called it Prodana Nevesta). Also, in proper alphabetical ordening, the use of articles is incorrect, but you did spell those out so I'll forgive you...🙂

I gave up...don't know that many waltzes...I knew Sleeping Beauty, Minute and Vienna Blood but the rest was new to me.

So embarrassing. I got the last one wrong. I really have to cut back on that cheap alcohol.

11 out of 15. Suggestions for the next overture challenge: The Gadfly or the Overture on Russian and Kirghiz folk themes, both by Shostakovich. Or overtures by Gretry. Hänsel und Gretel overture by Humperdinck. Cuban overture by Gershwin, Tivoli Festival overture by Hyldgaard, the bronze horse by Auber, Stein der Weisen by Mozart et al. Sometimes I am confused because titles are in different languages. La Forza del Destino is in Italian but Poet and Paysant (actually Dichter und Bauer) is in English.

The 15th... The most beautiful Overture of all! ♥️♥️♥️

Tannhäuser Overture is one of my all time favourite classical pieces. So epic!

4 wrong. (Better luck next time ?)

I love tannhauser overture so much

What about shosty string quartet 8😢😢😢

Ахах. Так смешно получилось. Когда увидела в списке букву Т, думала, что там будет Тристан. И вот когда остается последняя, слышу этот ми мажорный аккорд и так весело с того, что это Тангейзер)

Where's the "15/15 as usual " guy?

Great Job Dmitri as always.I have a question could you please do „guess the piano piece“ series.I am a pianist myself and I would like that.

Great quizz, with a variety of easy and hard pieces. Thanks for your work! I got 8 before the first letter was given, 3 after, and failed on 4. A couple letters were potentially misleading for non-English speaking people (as a Frenchman, I couldn't make the connection between the Pique dame music and the letter Q). Herold and Miaskovsky completely eluded me, and I took Sullivan for Elgar (but still knew there was pudding around).

Well, I'm clearly NOT an expert! I only got 4 right, although I recognised three others that I couldn't put a name to, at least not in 15 seconds . . .

I would have appreciated Der Freischütz by Carl Maria von Weber. Great overture.

13 out of 15. (working at an Opera House gives an adtavantage) Although "Pique Dame" is not an Overture. It's a Prelude. "What's the difference?", I hear people ask: An overture has a specific form. It's either in the italian "Sinfonia" style, like the overtures to baroque operas. Fast, slow, fast. (Many of Mozart's of operas have this kind of overture). Or it is in the form of a sonata movement, like Rossini's or Beethoven's overtures. Or they are in the form of a potpouri, with the most important themes from the work they are introducing. (Like the Offenbach overtures). A Prelude is much shorter and has no predefined form. There are exceptions though. Wagner's Meistersinger Prelude is a mix of potpouri and sonata form and could as well have been called Overture by the composer. Examples of opera's with preludes instead of overtures: La Traviata, Aida (even though Verdi wrote an alternative overture), Carmen, Tristan und Isolde, Eugen Onegin And just for comparism a few of Verdi's operas that actually have overtures instead of preludes: Nabucco, La Forza del Destino, Les Vepres sicilliene, Luisa Miller.

Being in a youth orchestra is basically considered receiving a masters in overture recognition

6. I was quite confused about the early Romantics - and the most interesting guess was I thought Lully was Schnittke, because I thought he didn't have drums like that, lol

In my native language, the minute waltz is called "La valse du petit chien" (the little dog waltz). I was surprised to see no dog in the list !

8, better than I expected.

8 right, 4 of which were guesses. I think I was doing better on the classical ones than these pop ones.

Shoot I switched Suppe for Delibes 14/15

8. One of the hardest yet. I thought I was going to bomb at the beginning.

Ended up with a respectable 9. after fudging the first six.

It's not easy if you see that the 6 choices are all songs you've never heard before. Too many were like that for me. Despite that I had 11 right, 5 being pure guesses.

. . . but I don't know which unknown waltzes I like. If I knew them, I would like them.

Thanks for another video! 8/15 for me. Definitely recognized more but couldn't name them.

Scherza Infida , non infrida!

This was a lot of fun. Please do a Walzes #2!

9/15, including 2 lucky guesses. Which get easier as we get closer to the end! Thanks a lot, anyway!

15/15, as usual.

I only knew Sibelius and Chopin ^^' There could have been the Valsa-Choro by Villa-Lobos :)

10/15 plus the famous SECOND WALTZ of Dmitri Dmitrievitch. And if you say that Sibelius' waltz is not sad, you may be forgiven because it's not sad: it's heartbreaking.

Good Job Dmitri!I love these Video is fun to play them.

Ahiii! No Waltzes by Liszt? At least the Mephisto....

8/15 for me. Better than I expected, which was nice!

I got the following exactly by composer and work - Bottesini, Zelenka, Villa-Lobos, Leoncavallo, Lully, Schutz, and Charpentier. I guessed the others by style and process of elimination.

10/15 (one by accident). Now for 15 female composers...

Невероятно сложно, учитывая то, что 9 из 15 фамилий мне в принципе неизвестны, их даже в Гнесинке не изучают... Однако же я набрал 8/15. Если бы я хотя бы знал, какой эпохе и какой стране принадлежат эти композиторы, думаю, я угадал бы больше...

6/15. I too thought Leoncavallo was Kalinnikov but I knew the Bachanas from another blind test.

8, better than I thought, but some inspired guesses!

10

Mistaking the cello for the viola was…sad face.

7/15…not very good.

Brahms was deadsure. My mother sang it to when I was a baby/toddler. "Guten Abend, gut Nacht, mit Rosen bedacht"
