I will start by asking a question. The first person who answers it correctly will ask another question. The first person who answers that will post another question and so on.

Here's the first one:

Brahms and Rachmaninoff are only two of the composers that have written variations on which piece by Paganini?

Ha, the right person for the question ^^ (the name) Well this was simple, Rachmaninoff (whom which I love!) and Brahms both used Niccolo Paganini's 24th Caprice for Brahm's Variation on a Theme and Rchamaninoff's Rhapsody on a theme (which I am listening to right now :])

as for my question: (It is classical at its basis I'd like to think but cast it aside if it's not correct for this {can't help it's marching band season})

In this years DCI shows, Phantom Regiment had an extremely beautiful ending to their show! What Stravinsky piece ending did they use?
     
Thanks! Izutsuki for being so nice to me! heart

Was it the finale of The Firebird?

In which keys are Chopin's three posthumous Nocturnes?

I'm only aware of two posthumous Nocturnes--the C-sharp minor and the C minor. There's a third one? Do you have a link to the score?

What happened in the premiere of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring?

Actually the third one is my favorite one. C-sharp minor, C minor, and E minor.
But I'll leave your question standing.
Edit: I found sheet music in case anyone's curious. http://imslp.org/wiki/Nocturne_Op.72_No.1_(Chopin,_Frederic)

Oh, RIGHT. Thanks for reminding me, Septomor. I keep forgetting the E minor is also a posthumous one because it does have a opus number, unlike the other two.

No problem. Opus numbers can be confusing, like Chopin's first sonata is post. I think.

I thought his first Piano Sonata is Opus 4. o_O;

The Fantasie-Impromptu is another posthumous publication though.

It is, but my version says it's also post.

Edit: Was the premiere delayed perhaps?

The Premiere of The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky was not delayed, Septomor; it was interrupted. The audience was... not receptive to such new and un-classical music and dance. People began cat-calling the dancers, and the noise in the theater escalated to the point where the conductor had to shout out beats for the orchestra (can you imagine doing that for this piece?). Stravinsky stormed out, the whole thing turned into a general riot, and the police had to be called in to shut things down.

Which piece by Dmitri Shostakovich is quoted in Bela Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra?

Wow, that had to suck. Poor Igor (not intended rhyme). I believe it was his 7th symphony?
Ok I'll go ahead and ask a question then.

What 2 instruments start playing at the beginning of Mahler's 4th symphony?

Music is the language of God. We musicians are as close to God as man can be. We hear his voice, we read his lips, we give birth to the children of God, who sing his praise. That's what musicians are.

Would you like to leave a question, or shall we wait until Mozart comes back from the dead and leaves one for you? Whatever's convenient... rolleyes

Rossini's William Tell Overture!

If we're going to let that stand, then

Which symphony by an English composer was inspired by music they had composed for a film?

If we're waiting for XcyberpunkX, then ignore this post completely.
