I'm asking this question in all seriousness.

Is there a part for kazoo(s) in the piece?

He is. :)

*Goes off to find what a kazoo is*

Nope.

Ok, I'll give a hint. Though I said it was orchestral, it is not for a complete/big/100 or so players orchestra.

Yes

I hope this 30Q turns out to be a proper one. I've made certain assumptions before starting it.

1. If I know it, everyone else knows it, too. (at least some of you will)

2. If it's played on B.com, then it is classical. (This may seem silly when you consider certain stuff that is played, but I'm quite sure that the composition I have in mind is from the classical genre)

Oops...I think I've given too much away. :o

right, or said, if the answer is no, so... etc.

1. we don't need to know the piece. part of this game is to expose us to music we don't know.

2. thanks for the hint. :)

No, but I now know who has composed the music for Mr.Bean. :D

Since we are just 4 questions away, here's yet another hint: My first post in this thread was actually a hint (sort of) rather than a reflection of my "superior knowledge of classical music". :D

Enjoy your week guys and girls! I hope you stump everyone on your 30Q Nav! :twisted: I'm sure Mr. *ig will solve the mystery. :roll:

I like doing a recap once every 10 questions and/or when a big step has been made. another recap would help now. :)

uhh, the composer is from the UK and the piece was written in the past 30 years. si unless youre referring to a different schoenberg, it's can't be schoenberg.
