mkesfahani 500 Post Club Member Registered: 02/26/02 Posts: 836 Loc: Irvine, CA	I always thought about doing a contest like this, but was always too lazy to scan the music. Anyway, I'll just toss in my guess and say Albeniz, but I don't know the name of the piece. Mike

RealPlayer 1000 Post Club Member Registered: 05/02/03 Posts: 1984 Loc: NYC	Back in college, we all played a similar game. We called it "Drop the Needle" (back in the LP days, of course) and you had to guess the composer and piece from the first chord or two, or 2-4 melody notes. Pretty tough. We also played "Opus Quiz," where one person would call out a composer's name and opus number, and the first person to name the piece was the winner. All that said, I don't know the piece referred to here... $\:\($ _________________________ Joe www.josephkubera.com

SoftwareResearch Full Member Registered: 05/16/03 Posts: 283 Loc: Germany	Hmm...I'd say it looks like Rachmaninoff, maybe Ravel. It appears to be in f major or d minor... Maybe from the Etudes Tableaux?

Bernard 3000 Post Club Member Registered: 07/06/01 Posts: 3853 Loc: Brooklyn, NY	Could it be from Bernstein's West Side Story, maybe part of the Jet's song?
