Here I would like to write separately that the video is experimental and I understand that open questions are not very popular on TH-cam, so any of your comments, remarks and suggestions are also very welcome. Today I posted the video very early and most likely will not be able to answer your comments, as I will be celebrating the New Year. I made the video in a big hurry, so the design and layout are also a bit experimental, but it is important for me to understand whether it is worth pursuing this series at all with the prospect of holding small competitions among viewers. P.S. I understand that some difficulties may arise due to translation, so I warn you in advance that your understanding of the essence of the task and my wording may not coincide))
Shosta's 2nd Waltz of the 2nd Jazz Suite, Bruckner's 0th symphony, Liszt's 2nd Hungarian Rhapsody, and van Beethoven's 5th piano concerto. Looks like 2025, and that's a good one I wish you all!
Except it isn't actually the 2nd Jazz Suite. It has been misidentiefied as that since 1984 and was misakenly called that until the discovery of the real "Suite for Jazz Orchestra No. 2" in 1999. It is now called the "Suite for Variety Orchestra No. 1". This particular piece is widely known as just "2nd Waltz", so still a 2.
I was obviously way overthinking in my previous answer. Seeing the correct titles in another comment made the real answer very clear: I wish everyone a wonderful 2 0 2 5 !!!
1. Shostakovich Jazz Suite no. 2 TWO 2. Bruckner Symphony no. 0 "Nullte" ZERO 3. Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2 for orchestra TWO 4. Beethoven Piano Concerto no. 5 "Emperor" FIVE
Not obvious ! I would say maybe 2nd movement of famous pieces ? (Chostakovitch 2nd Waltz, Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody n°2, and 2nd movement of Beethoven's fifth piano concerto). I didn't Identify the second one though, so maybe my logic is broken... I really like this new concept!
I am ""not the brightest star in the sky" by a very long way sir, so trying an IQ test was a bit scary! However, listening to the four pieces was fun anyway, and I bow humbly to everyone who found the answer. Perhaps IQ is as much about how we think as it is what we think! If I had remembered the names of the first three pieces, that would have helped and then if I had remembered the name of the new year, I might have had an epiphany! I have been asleep due to shiftwork tiredness! Anyway, your quizzes are a great way to stir up the brain cells so please continue to make them sir. Thank you! I wish you a very Happy New Year, Blessings and Peace.
1. Dmitri Shostakovich - Waltz No. 2 2. Anton Bruckner - Symphony No. 0 Mvt. 1 3. Franz Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 4. Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 5 Mvt. 2 ANSWER: 2025
2: Shostakovich - Waltz No. 2 0: Bruckner Symphony No 0. 2: Lizst Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 5: Beethoven Piano Concerto 5 2025 HAPPY NEW YEAR This year, while adding joy and fun to my life, I improved my knowledge of music with your videos. I wish you a happy new year. May 2025 bring health, happiness, and success to us all.
It is not entirely clear what exactly you expect us to do, but if it is to name the composers and/or compositons names, then these are my answers: 1. D. Shostakovich, 2nd Waltz from Suite for Variety Orchestra no. 1 (often misidentified as Suite for Jazz Orchestra No. 2) 2. I do not recognize this, but I like it. 3. F. Liszt, Hungarian Rhapsody, I do not really care about numbers 4. L. Van Beethoven, Piano Concerto No. I don't know Edit: Having given these answers, maybe the common 'theme' for these 4 compositions is being wrongly or mistakenly named. 1. As I already mentioned, Shostakovich's composition is often misidentified. 2. Another comment gave this as Bruckner's Symphony 0, which was composed between Symphony 1 and 2, so the numbers are out of order 3. The "Hungarian" Rhapsody is based on a Romanian melody 4. Another comment mentions it is Piano Concerto No. 5, also known as "Emperor" but nobody knows why and Beethoven himself certainly did not name it as such.
It's great that you've done such an analysis of the situation, probably other parts will be more interesting for you to solve. Thank you for spending so much time!
All I could make out of it (with my limited knowledge) and without any given direction is: The way orchestration and instruments shape the character of a piece. Happy New Year! PS. After reading the other comments, I feel totally silly and I think this kind of quiz is by far to advanced for my knowledge. But it´s fine to have challengs for the experts.
1. D. Schostakovitch Valse no. 2 2. Missed 3. F. Liszt Hungarian rhapsody no. 2, version for orchestra 4. L. van Beethoven Piano concerto no. 5 "Emperor" 2nd mvt
Hi! The intro music must be Bruckner (don’t remember which one). 1 seems to be a New Years’s Eve in Vienna concert. 2 sounds like Brahms, but is it? 3 is Liszt Hung. Rhaps. (arranged). And 4 sounds like a Beethoven concerto. If these are all getting at a central point, I don’t know what it could be other than the new year. (Now to read any giveaways in the other comments!)
Interesting idea 😊 I think the right answer is 2025, as explained in another comment, but I would not have spotted it by myself (and am not one of the first three). Happy New Year. Who is the pianist in the last clip?
Pierre-Laurent Aimard th-cam.com/video/pBn1-XpDWh0/w-d-xo.html I haven't thought through the element of pre-notifying viewers about the start of the competition yet, since there will only be experimental releases now.
As an IQ test, I suppose I must rank low. #1 is familiar, but I can't quite place it. #2, with the entry of the brass, certainly sounds like Bruckner, but not like one of the symphonies I'm most familiar with. #3 once more sounds familiar, but that's all. #4 finally! the slow movement of Beethoven's 5th Piano Concerto! What it all means, I haven't a clue. However, I'm grateful for the experience. And Happy New Year!

@@adiosmusictest Never mind, this is how you get subscribers. :) The second test though was difficult for me. BTW, this problem: E1, F1, G1, H2, ... is very different from this one: D1, E1, F1, G1, H2, ..., J2. It's an illustration of extrapolation vs interpolation. Predicting data points outside a set is a lot more uncertain than fitting within a set. I think most people tried to extrapolate, hence so many different answers, none the same as the one you had in mind.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm having a hard time coming up with answers other than picking just 1 winner for the first one to answer correctly, so this question is open for now.

This year, while adding joy and fun to my life, I improved my knowledge of music with your videos.
I wish you a happy new year. May 2025 bring health, happiness, and success to us all.
Seeing the full titles makes the correct answer very clear 😊
Congratulations on winning this part and Thank you for the New Year wishes!
I'm thinking that 2nd video is a big "zero" !

Shostakovich, Bruckner, Liszt and Beethoven. Cool test. I admit the Bruckner was a guess! Happy New Year Dmitri. See you next year! ;)
1. D. Schostakovitch Valse no. 2
2. Missed
3. F. Liszt Hungarian rhapsody no. 2, version for orchestra
4. L. van Beethoven Piano concerto no. 5 "Emperor" 2nd mvt
Nice 😂 had no idea till I read the answer from another post ...
Hi! The intro music must be Bruckner (don’t remember which one). 1 seems to be a New Years’s Eve in Vienna concert. 2 sounds like Brahms, but is it? 3 is Liszt Hung. Rhaps. (arranged). And 4 sounds like a Beethoven concerto. If these are all getting at a central point, I don’t know what it could be other than the new year.
(Now to read any giveaways in the other comments!)
You are absolutely right. The intro featured the end of Bruckner's 4th Symphony as a symbol of the end of 202-4! (a bit arbitrary of course)
Interesting idea 😊 I think the right answer is 2025, as explained in another comment, but I would not have spotted it by myself (and am not one of the first three). Happy New Year. Who is the pianist in the last clip?

2025…?
No. 2
Not sure, I know the first one, recognize the others but can't remember what they are. Maybe the answer is number 2?
All romantic compositions
2025
Answer: year 2025. Happy new year! (Upd: looking at the comments, I arrived too late at the party. :) Ah well, work delayed me.)

What about maybe using a google form or a similar tool ? That way, the viewers won't be able to see the answers in the comment section.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm having a hard time coming up with answers other than picking just 1 winner for the first one to answer correctly, so this question is open for now.
