@@bruh7130 Sod off, Jimin Kim. You're such a killjoy for acting this way. Those "people in classical music" you refer to are likely non-existent, methinks. Do yourself a favor by not reading the comments. P.S. Fix your grammar.

[@fidconcerto6959]

Even for classical musicians, the questions are difficult

[@pijlenboog23]

Totally agree

[@teoweisyuen9254]

True

[@cioccolato2124]

I disagree

[@rasmusblomberg7373]

@@cioccolato2124 it craazy tho. he goes from the easiest questions like "who composed can can" to the hardest opera questions

[@nyancs7098]

Depends, some of them were piss easy but some were impossible

[@emileliu8239]

Can't even get Liebestraum right. Lamentable.

[@guavaguy4397]

I had to take my headphones off when they couldn't even get Leibestraum, this is one of Liszt's most beautiful and enduring pieces.

[@joanneaugust6611]

If you can recognise a piece by Meyerbeer, you've probably written a thesis on 19th century opera. Seriously, I've studied musicology for years and I'm stomped by many of these questions. Especially French opera kills me every time.

[@PMA65537]

Les Patineurs - should be easy

[@joanneaugust6611]

@@PMA65537 No, not easy at all. Who knows this stuff? Again, I'm a musicologist. I know pieces by Meyerbeer by name and know about his life and achievements. But recognising his pieces is something for specific fans.

[@waltuh2.3bviews3secondsago3]

i mean he did say hindemith for a composer that knew salieri 💀 ig he just didn't know hindemith so fair enough

[@TheModicaLiszt]

Or you just know Liszt’s fantasy on Les Huguenots 😏😏

[@jeglop]

Hindemith & Dvorak for a guess. Salieri was dead before these two people were born, esp. Hindemith.

[@nickweems24]

Thanks for making this! I always skip the episodes to just get to the classical music questions. It would be great if you did more, but I know this is a lot of work.

[@sleepynoise5753]

Thank you! I felt the same way! I got my workflow down, and it takes me about an hour to make one. More will be coming ! :)

[@nickweems24]

@Ragnar Particularly to be able to answer these questions, you only need to listen to the music itself while knowing when and where it was written. You quickly become able to distinguish between various spatial and temporal styles. And even for general knowledge, no book beats scrolling around Wikipedia and articles elsewhere while actually listening to the music. Having said that, Aaron Copland's What To Listen For In Music is quite good.

[@lenochod6]

thanks :)

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

Some really good questions; it’s just a shame that the music is entirely 19th and 20th century, and as far as those setting the questions go, ‘classical’ music seems to begin with Beethoven.

[@furdiebant]

Well said Elaine

Literally currently playing Symphonic Dances by Rachmaninov and still couldn’t work out where i recognised it from :)

[@jeglop]

They played the least helpful part, which the Dies Irae motif. They didn't really have to. If they played the waltz or idee fixe from Symp. Phan., I'd recognize it too.

[@nataliepeters9777]

I am german, and i had to google most of the composers/choreographs, because of his pronunciation... I just could not understand it. but when I found the one he was most probably talking about I was not that bad.

[@doublepipe.]

8:20 Just gonna correct him and tell you all that "dies" is plural, so it's "The Days of Wrath" rather than "The Day of Wrath".

[@somebodyuknow2507]

Nope, dies is a Latin noun meaning day, and both its nominative singular and plural are dies. However the next word irae is the genitive SINGULAR of ira, if it was “days of wrath” it would be “dies irarum” not “dies irae”

[@doublepipe.]

@@somebodyuknow2507 Yeah, the first one is true, my bad. But one wrath can have multiple days so you wouldn't have to put ira into the plural form to have dies be plural.

Lol being at Oxbridge doesn’t mean u suddenly know loads about everything including classical music. Just means they’re good at their specific subject (which for most of them isn’t music). Anyway, they’re under pressure & are probs kinda tired from loads of other questions so are bound to make a few more slip ups than normal.
