I love how the entire team was suggesting the obviously correct Schubert and he still went with the German composer Beethoven whose style is so entirely different.
same, couldn't recognize the name at first bc of the British accent tho lol. Big fan of his performance of Spanish Rhapsody and the fanfare toccata he composed
OMG IM SO HAPPY I HEARD HIM SAY PALINDROME AND I SAID OUT LOUD: DILIGES DOMINUM BY BYRD AND IT CAME UP! SORRY IM 14 AND I NEVER GET ANYTHING RIGHT ON THIS PROGRAMME SO I GOT A LITTLE OVER EXCITED! Thanks for posting!
Congrats on getting it right! I thought Tallis or Byrd but wasn’t sure. Really happy to see someone around my age who is enthusiastic about baroque/renaissance music as it is super awesome!
Nooticus Thanks! I used to hate that sort of era- usually found that sort of piece boring to sing, but now I can really appreciate composers like Tallis and Byrd, and the amazing rich textures both provide. I think it all began after I was lucky enough to sing in Spem in Alium by Tallis- without a doubt one of the greatest pieces of music, and even more amazing once you realise its about half a millennium old! In all honesty though it’s great to know I’m not alone in this belief, it’s really annoying how Renaissance music is always overlooked, like in my music class when we were asked what are the FOUR main eras for classical music, I got really angry as there was modern but not renaissance!! 😂
0:37 Thank goodness they actually played Stockhausen! (It was Kontakte btw) I actually love the way they all looked after the piece began, and when one of them answered the question both of the people in shot had that look of 'How the hell did you know that?'
That's because they are too young to have watched figure skating in the 90s, or they would have never forgotten this: th-cam.com/video/uiearh4LWis/w-d-xo.html 😀
The famous part of the William Tell overture is the March of the Swiss Soldiers, the 4th section, which starts with a brass fanfare. Since this wasn't the excerpt played this explained why they got it wrong. I'm an amateur classical violinist and I've played March of the Swiss Soldiers probably about 20 times but never the overture in its entirety, which I would like to do. In fact I've only ever listened to the entire overture once.
@@quaby1194 No, he was not. Salzburg was not a part of Austria at any time during Mozart's lifetime. He remained a citizen of the archbishopric of Salzburg his entire life as well of a citizen of the Holy Roman Empire. Austria, in Mozart's lifetime, was an archduchy (later turned empire, but still part of the Holy Roman Empire) that consisted of large parts of current Austria. It was only understood and seen as an actual country, nationality and something that was not Germany after World War II - coincidentally. Since Mozart was not alive to see Salzburg join Austria, let alone Austria become an actual country, it makes no sense at all to call him Austrian, does it? That would be like saying someone born in current South Tyrol in 1850 was Italian. No, they were not! Neither was someone born in East Karelia in 1721 Russian. Russia only took over Finland and Karelia in 1809, East Karelia being the part that is still Russian to this day. I think the point is clear: Borders change as politics change, wars happen etc. We cannot put the 19th century concept of nationality on an 18th century composer, especially not drawing the borders like they are today. (Since English-speakers are not as aware of nor as interested in the history of the Holy Roman Empire, the willingness to correct this common mistake is not as present in the UK and US as it is in Germany and Austria. The reason why we view this as so important is that Mozart's nationality has actually been politicised and abused by both Nazi Germany and post-war Austria, one claiming him as German, the other as Austrian. Both countries wanted to own the composer for themselves. Truthfully, only the cities of Salzburg and Vienna can claim such a thing as having been Mozart's home.)

not me screaming krumhorn at my phone at 1 am
8:59 great shout-out for Hough, I love his recording of Hummel's second piano concerto.
same, couldn't recognize the name at first bc of the British accent tho lol. Big fan of his performance of Spanish Rhapsody and the fanfare toccata he composed
hmm this series seems to like Britten for 'some reason' xD

@@MattA-nz9ze Wow! You got to sing spem in alium! Lucky! I've sung Vivaldi Gloria and it is also great to sing!
Nooticus Yeah Spem in Alium really is something else! I’ve never sung the Vivaldi though- it sure sounds fun though!
1:40 I can excuse not getting Wagner, but Bernstein? Bernstein???????
Lol but of course the Brits recognize Holst after one bar
I had a neighbor with a highly cultivated canine, but he was rather aggressive. More than once he had to Carl Orff his dog.
They really tried to trick you thinking it was Messiaen and his La Merle noir.

I'm surprised they weren't aware of the D Minor Fantasia, it's atypical from most Mozart that I thought it would be more popular.

Got 1/2 of the questions right, really proud of myself! Best thing to do in spare time. Need to do my research on british and German composers though
lmao @ le tombeau de couperin being in this twice
some of the pieces missed here are fairly surprising- like who doesn't recognize William Tell? also Mozart and Brahms don't sound anything alike
And Brahms is German...
And Beethoven as well, it was so clearly Schubert...

i think not recognising that beethoven and brahms are german not austrian is more surprising
That piece was extremely recognizable as Brahms, too. I didn't know the piece but was 99% certain.
@@AlexEwan1I agree with you but the rest of the overture is much more interesting musically than the march at the end of it, despite its fame.
These are tough audio challenges
i thought i heard him say botch
couldn'a
What is the instrument at 7:20? I can't find it by googling and I've literally never heard of that before.
Never mind, I found it "Virginals" I couldn't make out how he was saying it - and putting a "d" at the end makes it never show up
How did they not get the hurdy gurdy image correct?
They were too busy thinking is that Johnny Cash ?!
*series
Quite hard though
11:23 Tell Eulenspiegel
*Till
Master FNH 👍🏻
Um, interesting definition of "classical" here, esp near the beginning.
Anyone knows what's the piece in 11:35?
He said it in the clip, it was part of Copland’s music for the ballet Billy the Kid.
Mozart was not Austrian though.
yes he was?

@@joanneaugust6611 Thanks! Glad to learn something new about German and Austrian history!
