So You Think You Know Your Mozart?

I missed a couple. However, the test illustrates an interesting fact. When you are familiar with a piece of music it takes only a few of the first notes to identify it. This was brought to light in connection with a law suit some time ago involving "theft" of certain copyrighted material. Steal only two or three notes/chords and you can be in trouble. It would be interesting if the BBC test kept track of playing time before correct answers.

10/10 the first time through for me too. The Haydn versus Mozart piece was the tricky one for me and I don't believe I had heard that one before...so I had to make a judgement call.

I won't give the answer away but it is not always easy to tell the difference between Haydn and Mozart (unless you really know how to recognize Mozart's style, which apparently I do)

That was fun... makes you feel good!

Nsgarch- I am only 24 ;) mixing in baroque and romantic music wasn't even fair when comparing it with a classical period composser.

Tire -- please, please! I wasn't implying youngsters shouldn't expect to score well, especially if you enjoy listening to the music. It's just that many of us past the 1/2 century mark have become familiar with it as much through osmosis as from actual focused listening. I'm happy you're a fan!

8 for 10 but then again I listen to very little classical music. It must be very easy for classical music listeners.
