I'd say yes, if it was a waltz.

I would say no usually. I would say yes for a Waltz as part of a ballet. I would give a specialized answer for a Viennese Waltz (I would say something like : It was composed for dancing). but Waltzes like Chopin's, Schuberts, La Valse, Invitation to Dance (Weber), I would say no. they are concert waltzes. opera waltzes would depend on the situation. so I 'd be careful with blanket "yes."

Romance-language-speaking country?

Ray, is that a serious question? I did say it was unrelated.
10.

No

Thanks for the info on the waltz. I had Viennese in mind, but more info is always better.

Yes, it was a serious question.

German-speaking country?

Now that I've indicated that it's not a waltz, we are still at 10 questions.

If nobody has yet asked "Is it orchestral?", I'm asking.

by **bignaf** » Thu Jul 06, 2006 7:22 pm

recap would be nice.

Is the composer alive?

No

And with that the record for the most number of questions in Navneeth's 30Q has been broken.

Recap: Composed in or after 1938 - contains more than two acts/movements/sections - orchestral - does not contain singing - no dancing (and not a waltz) - was written in western Europe.

Composer was born in western Europe and is from the UK - still alive - did not study at the Manchester School of Music.

Is it an avant-garde composer?

by **Catmando** » Fri Jul 07, 2006 7:50 am

Has the composer been "knighted" like everyone else remotely famous in the UK?

Note - This could also be in the pet peeve forum. :lol:

((and now I proclaim thee, Sir Navneeth!))

I don't think so...the answer is closer to a No than a Yes.
