30Q #45 Hexameron

[Hexameron]

My first 30Q! "Ask me the questions bridge-keeper[s]. I'm not afraid" Just don't ask about the composer's favorite color.

[navneeth]

You too are trying to cross the bridge, eh? Someone else did the same thing some 30Q's ago.

Orchestral?

Post-1827 composition? If so 20th century?

[Hexameron]

1. Orchestral?

No.

2. Post-1827 composition?

Yes.

3. If so 20th century?

No.

[navneeth]

Post-1850?

Western European composer? (Btw, trying to list countries which are strictly western european can be a tricky issue, so we just use Wikipedia as rough guide)

[Hexameron]

4. Post-1850?

No.

5. Western European Composer?

Yes.

[navneeth]

Did the composer belong to either Germany, Austria, Italy, or France?

And with that, I'll shut up, and let others ask some questions.

[Hexameron]

6. Did the composer belong to either Germany, Austria, Italy, or France?

Yes.

[shostakovich]

One of Schubert's last works?

Whoever asks about 1827 should probably use 1829 or 1830, lumping Schubert and Beethoven as in or out.

Just a suggestion for the future.

funny you should consider Schubert a major composer.
I invented the 1827 question, mostly because I would have Schubert in mind when thinking of romantic music, not so with Beethoven. but I guess 1829 would be better, just two years and you eliminate another so-called major composer.
and, BTW, if you were going to ask such a small elimination question (Schubert late works), you should at least ask 1829 to eliminate a fe w more pieces.

[bignaf]

if not String quartet, are there more than 2 performers?

[Hexameron]

12. String quartet?

13. if not String quartet, are there more than 2 performers?

[Hexameron]

Recapping:

- Non-String Quartet Chamber work, without vocals/chorus and with more than two performers
- Written between 1827-1850
- Composed by either a German, Austrian, Italian or French composer.

[navneeth]

Is the composer German or Austrian? If yes, then German? If not, French?
