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 2000 Post Club Member Registered: 05/02/03 Posts: 2176 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

sandman 500 Post Club Member Registered: 07/13/01 Posts: 605 Loc: toronto	it looks like mozart to me, but sitting here at my work desk and trying to sound it out in my head im really not sure...kinda reminds me of first movement of Beethoven Op.109, but im almost positive thats not right...Mozart or easy Schumann...but im not gonna get any closer here.
