30Q #63 - Catmando

[Catmando]

Is it William Herschel???

22. No

[Catmando]

he was the one I had in mind when ask if he lived in England most of his life.

Hint: The composer in question only lived in England for a few years.

[Catmando]

I need to clarify that my composer lived outside of Germany for part of his career (in various countries in Europe). Only actually lived in England for a few years.

[bignaf]

that's why I gave up on the uranus angle.

[bignaf]

I don't think there are any other German composers in the applicable timeframe. except maybe Eckard. but he wrote only for piano, I think.

[Catmando]

Another hint:

Although this composer was "born" in Germany, he is Bohemian in descent.

[bignaf]

[Catmando]

[Shapley]

Scratch that, he died too early.

[bignaf]

[Catmando]

Leopold Mozart?

Scratch that, he died too early.

Not only that Shap, but *ig has already figured out the composer. See above.

[Catmando]

shap, it's Stamitz!

is it a concerto?

26. Yes

[bignaf]

flute concerto?

[navneeth]

It's for flute and orchestra?

[Catmando]

flute concerto?

27. Yes (Nav, I'll thus ignore your question)

[Catmando]

It's for flute and orchestra?

Yes (I'm just not counting that as a question, since it's the same as asking if it's a flute concerto.)

[bignaf]

is it in G major?

[Catmando]

is it in G major?

Yes! Unless there is more than 1 in G major, you got it.

It's the Concerto for Flute & Orchestra, Op. 29 in G major, composed around 1782/84, by Carl Stamitz.
