Guess the composer

I've been following the "Furtwangler?" thread with interest, not sure I have anything more to add that hasn't already been said.

I don't think that agreement is necessary for a fascinating discussion - rather the reverse in many ways - provided that I avoid my faux-pax as above again..

Not to worry, I shouldn't have jumped in so soon.

As to posting MP3's, I've been looking around and most places want money for any really useful service, the free ones I've found are useless. The problem is the clampdown on music sharing. If you can keep the MP3 under 1Mb, which is difficult, I can host them.

Dear Basil,

I have a few funny ones, which no one gets straight off, though they kick themselves afterwards.

No doubt a minute of it would be enough to enjoy the humour of it...

If you don't mind, please email me with the details, as I sometimes think we ought to have this sort of thing going, much as we have the "what are you listening to " thread.

Maybe it would stop after a few goes, but it can be fun.

I couldn't identify the clip, but I enjoyed it. I don't understand what is supposedly "childish" or "insipid" or "trite" about it, though ... I found it lovely and well written.

By the way, the main eight-bar theme is very reminiscent (albeit up tempo) of Ashamnu, which is in the standard liturgy of the Jewish high holy days.

Lighten up guys, it was a joke.....Actally I enjoy a lot of music that could hardly be called highbrow, and in fact is likely quite insiped.......
