Classical Orchestral Music Blind Test - Part 1 (15 Orchestral Work with different difficulties)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 вер 2024
- The blind test has a mixture of 4 musical periods' orchestral music, with common pieces, but also some for you to guess.
I hope that even if you can not identify the piece, you will still dig into these sophisticated masterpieces.
Remember, one more masterpiece in your brain, a more professional musician you can be.
Huge thanks and credit to Joshua @thestandardwatermelon5163 !!!!!

Definitely Mozart’s C major Dissonance quartet opening.
It's amazing how many of these I went "Oh frick, I've played this, which one was it" XD Only remembered like 3 actual piece names, but was fun to go through them!
it's lucky u meet them again
P.S. I got 54 points
I’m not sure that giving a point for the period is useful as, if you know the composer, you know the period.
Also, maybe 1 point for the composer, and 2 for the piece (more difficult)
Great Quiz!
43/64. Early Romantic period symphonic works is probably one of my weakest areas of knowledge
i was like that before, too. once i found that i am weak at romatic i go listen for loads of works and finally i can even guess the composer even if i hvnt heard it before. btw, i made a playlist of romantic orchestral work, better check it out if u need it!
Nice test, I missed out on Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich, also don't know what that last piece was.,
Yes it's difficult enough and feel free to do a part 2 This one was very good. Thanks for posting.
The last piece is Mozart's dissonance quartet XD
Thanks 👍
I basically only got Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich! 😆 I got Ravel and Mozart 40 to, tho.
@@Elijah24553 👍🙂
The ones I knew within the first measure were the obvious ones. Revelle, Rossini and Gershwin come to mind. Tougher was the symphonic works. Shubert sounds very much like Beethoven I am familiar with all the Brhams, but still missed the answers. Not up on my Mahlar. knew the Rachmaninoff but thought it his first. The Vivaldi did not sound like a typical piece. and on the other hand, Other Debussy pieces could have been more challenging.
Yes I must admit both Schubert and Beethoven love to use subitos 😂 but Beethoven has a relatively "muddy" bassline and loves to use fugal structure in his late works (but Schubert won't). Schubert has a wider spacing and likes to use strings-woodwind Q&A (use more Horns in his "Unfinished" and "The Great")
I am the complete opposite haha.
Since I'd be in Mahler's fan club, I knew it the momen it started playing.
The non symphonic works I had only gotten right thanks to UA-cam and thanks to having had contact with music.
I like the ones with the iconic trombone parts!
hope you will also like my trombone recordings 😂😂😂
47 :)
Best part of Mahler’s 1st. ❤️
I have played it and it is so much fun!
thx! feel free to play part 2 if u wanna challenge urself!
When I was a 17yo kid at music camp we played this and our 1st trumpet was the great Manny Laureano. He practiced this spot incessantly. Now after a stellar career in Seattle and Minneapolis, I hear he is retiring.
@@williamhollin1445 Neat! I recommend listening to Jascha Horenstein conducting the London Symphony Orchestra in 1969, with the Hunter's funeral on the cover. It can be found on Misha Horenstein's (Jascha's nephew) on UA-cam channel. Figure 56 of the last movement is slowed to about half tempo for emphasis, as Horenstein saw tat part as the true climax of the work. Triumphal indeed.
I'm so happy when I get Unfinished Symphony right, especially it was the 2nd. mvt.😆🥲
and I almost thought the Rachmaninoff one was Tchaikovsky's lol😂😂
forgot the name of Rossini's, but surprisingly knew it was his piece when I hear it😆
almost failed at Beethoven's 5 because it wasn't the rhythm I usually listen to 😂
I love that movement, perhaps more than the famous 1st movement.
I just struggle with placing it between the 5th and 7th. Thanks to that I knew to which symphony it belonged to.
me too!! Schubert is although early romantic (as i like mordern stuff more like stravinsky, bernstein), his melodies (especially countermelodies) is really tuneful and easy to memorize, i couldn't agree more he is the "romantic" Mozart!
i only missed 3. More please!
Feel free to challenge yourself on my blind test 2 on my channel!
Can't believe I've never heard even a note from Shostakovich's 7th.
I mean, so must have a lot of others too, you've given extra time xD
I luckied at Brahms because I had just listened to it in another video.
Thanks for not turning the list into a college admission test.
Also love how I can tell correctly it was going to be either Bach or Vivaldi.
College admission test...haha cuz this is kinda too easy. i hope the ones i am making won't be too difficult 😅
I immediatly knew Shostakovich Symphony No 7 lol but I'm more into 20th Century, so I really struggled with all the 19th Century pieces, which were a lot more lol
The 20th century composers has a more distinctive style comparing to the 19th century that's why it's always difficult in distinguishing the 19th century composers like you can easily distinguish bartok from britten and Shostakovich as they have a very distinctive style in fact.
Need longer time to guess right? 😅
Maybe next video I try to fix the guessing time longer.
my mistake!
Actually I knew there was no way I'd recognize the ones that I didn't because I had no memories of them, so not even all the time in the world would have helped haha.
actually every composer have their distinctive features (or else they won't be famous) so by identifying the features you can make a guess. maybe a should make a video explaining this😂?
The outro song was the best😂🇨🇳🇨🇳
Let's go Venezuela army band
Is it Mozart's Dissonanzen Quartett?
yes
@@angowong1407
I thought it sounded like Bruckner and guessed his string quintet (which I've never heard).
It's good that u try to guess it. btw Bruckner has more dotted rhythm and won't be that dissonance, also his stylish "step-by-step" chord change
@angowong1407 It sounds nothing like Mozart though.
I mean, I was also blown apart when I got to know his 12 horn concertos, so Mozart really covers a lot.
21 if I consider picking the latter choice between two composers I was in doubt as final.
Oh I forgot to account for the period. I knew I was forgetting something.
Not that I wpuld have gotten most of them right anyway.
when i played the blind test made by others it's also like this
What's the brass piece in the intro?
it's me and my frds playing haydn's creation xd forget and forgive this grp of trashcans 🤪
Good sounding trashcans.
i am a baroque guy not a romantic guy. I actually am ashamed i didn't recognize Schubert's symphony. I like him but i don't listen to him much.
for me, i like baroque (as well as medieval) and modern the most for their complexity (i must admit that classical and romantic are good if u don't wanna use ur brain for a while). i rlly recommend you to dig into schubert not only orchestral but also his lieders.
Mozart quartet...
I did not enjoy this as much as another similar video.
sorry it's my first try, forgive me 🥺. (just joking it's really trash i must admit)
Period performance of Mozart's string quartet sucks. So flat.
Just another tuning. Anyway noted.
