Math Problem

[shostakovich]

Take the Linz, divide by the Tragic, resulting in an Unfinished (not THE Unfinished). Whose???<BR>And continuing with numbers, I counted 29 topics in this category (before this one), and 7 were initiated by Serge. Congratulations. Keep up the good work.

Since no one else has had a stab, I thought I might.......<P>If the answer is Schubert, then shouldn`t the result be "The Great", and not "The Unfinished"? That is to say, Mozart`s symphony no. 36, divided by Schubert`s symphony no. 4, should equal somebody`s symphony no. 9, not 8!<P>If it`s not Schubert, then please, WHO??!!

Congratulations, Peter. You have just won the prize. As the only person to attempt this musical enigma, you are the winner.<P><BR> THE PRIZE IS ---<P> THE ANSWER ------<P><BR> BRUCKNER ------<P>And now, who wrote a musical Enigma?

OH DANGIT! GOSHHH!!!!! ARRGHHHHHHHH! AFTER UNDERSTANDING THE QUESTION, I KNEW IT WASNT SHUBERT, BUT BRUCKNER FOR SURE! I KNEW IT! sorry for being dramatic, but as i scrolled down to see if someone wrote after Peter, i was hoping to NOT see the answer already down, becuase i was GOING to guess Bruckner.<BR>Please give me credit 'cuz im being soo honest here!<BR>FLOWERBOY

Hi, now that im calmed down over that dramatic episode, i took time to read ALL of Shos' reply, and the answer to the Enigma is.........<BR>The Enigma variations written by Sir Edward Elgar. These variations are arguably the most well-applauded set of variations ever.<BR>And that is my "Final Answer".<P>NOW GIVE ME MY PRIZE! (heehee)<BR>Flowerboy

[shostakovich]

You are funny, and you are correct. Since you got the Enigma enigma, I'll give you credit for the Bruckner. Your prize is the following: Bid Farewell twice, and remove from a late Surprise. You will come to the kind of guy Michelangelo was. Who dunnit?

[Flowerboy]

Hi shos! im back, and i think ive got the answer. after conversing with my freind david (LVBfurimmer) weve come to a conclusion. Farewell twice, Haydns farewell sypmohny 45 x2 = 90. remove from a late surprise, hadyns 94. 94-90 = 4. Michelangelo was italien. There was an "italien symphony wrote by Mendelssohn - his 4th symphony. Therefore our answer is Mendelssohn's 4th symphony. If it is correct, give credit to both me and David (LVBfurimmer). Thanks.

[shostakovich]

Congratulations Flowerboy and Peter. Keep on posting, Treebeau. Next up: <BR>1) Composer A was called by Haydn "the greatest composer I know either personally or by name."<BR>2) Composer B wrote a symphony that Wagner called "the apotheosis of the dance".<BR>3) Take the difference in the birth years of composers A and B.<BR>4) Divide that by the London Symphony of composer C (not Haydn).<BR>5) You should have another symphony by composer C with a geographical location as its subtitle.<BR>6) What kind of birds should you expect to find there?
