    Schumann: Novellette op.21 nr.8 (Trio II)

    Bach: Toccata BWV 916 (Adagio)

    Smart choices, Chris. Both works usually neglected in favour of some of their sisters (the first two Novelletten and the D major and C minor Toccatas). And both I should have recognised almost immediately (Ciani and Sokolov my references for Schumann, Gould and again Gould for Bach). :)

    Well done, two points for coccobill and Kschyschtoff each !
    I did wonder whether the Ecossaise was too trivial with all the Chopin experts here, but I am delighted that some did not recognize it :D

    I'm sitting here with my feet up, drinking wine, and listening to your nice playing, but I'm hearing everybody, now. Shosti, Franck, Ravel, Granados, Liadov etc...can't pin anything down, so I'm quitting. Good luck to everybody else!

    That's what I said regarding my research paper! I handed it in without even finishing it, I ended in mid-sentence. Who cares, I have only 10 class days left before my 3rd year of college is completed. 8)

    I too hear some Shostakovich (track 16, at the beginning, and the transposition at 47'' is very much Shostakovich), but cannot find out what it is.

    Track 11 must be something in (pseudo)classic style, maybe Mendelssohn?

    Anyway, one more finding: track 19 is "Bransle de Champagne" from Poulenc's Suite Française.

    cheers,

    Just listening again to it, and no, except for those very moments, definitely it is not Shostakovich.

    Your compilation is driving me crazy.
    Yet, I've got one more answer: Track 7 is from Fantasia Baetica by de Falla.

    It's not that bad, one has to move focus to a composer's style, which is a good exercise. I smell some Ginastera and Satie (could be?), but currently cannot nail anything else. I am afraid I have run out of munitions. :?

    11: Reger? This is obviously Bach-inspired. If not Reger, then Busoni.

    Cool, I have zero idea what is going on! You'll have to leave this up for a bit when the contest ends, too.
