8/10
Not quite worthy of Mozart kugeln
8/10 for me too. The Haydn was the killer.
7 out of 10. Surprisingly high. Disappointingly high.
In my defense, I only knew so many because I have seen Amadeus a few times and because my kids watch Little Einsteins on Playhouse Disney. My only knowledge of highbrow culture comes from pop culture.
10/10
That was kid stuff.
10/10
Surprised?
Show off.
9/10 – but it would have been 10 if I had waited two bars more.
Name that Tune flashbacks.
flabbergasted I got this many, since I don’t listen to classical…
I suspect this was an easy-peasy quiz.
10/10 for me, too. And Haydn shouldn’t be a killer!
7/10
And with a music degree no less! Pathetic.
That’s what happens when you spend all of your time in the jazz department I guess.
8/10, because I don’t know any Haydn. I know this quiz sucked — I know almost nothing about classical music (or baroque or whatever). C’mon, Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy?! Fur Elise?!
Everyone sing with me (to the tune in that clip from the quiz from the Surprise Symphony):
Papa Haydn’s dead and gone
But his memory lingers on
When his mood was one of bliss
He wrote happy tunes like this
8 for 10. The quiz was easier than I expected.
10/10
It would have been harder if they didn’t only pick “greatest hits”
If you want to celebrate with some really good Mozart, and not just the snippets that are now used to sell luxury cars, here are a few suggestions:
Piano concerto 25, K503
String quintet, K515
Mass in C minor, K427
Piano quartet, g minor, K478
8/10
Bill, I suspect you would be able to score pretty high on the “Given the clip, give the K number” quiz.
7/10. But on 2 of them, I second guessed myself and got it wrong when I originally had it right! Always go with your gut!
7/10. Haydn threw me off. I want to take one of these but for heavy metal.
