Name that Tune !!!

[riskarb]

OK, so this is the game.

1. First person posts an excerpt from a piece. Can be any length and any type of music (so long as you're playing it!).

2. Whoever guesses correctly has to record a short snippet of their own.

3. If anyone would like to add their own recordings for others to guess, post away.

I'll start.

(Apologies in advance for the background noise as this was recorded in between meetings in Jakarta at a clients office)

Rachmaninoff- Piano Concerto No. 3, fragment from first movement. It is obvious that I'm not the one playing, but I don't see a piano that I can play here. (I wonder if anyone can name this one)

Give me a hint.  Is that a Saygun piece?

A real stumper, in any case.

[coda_colossale]

Yes, it is a piece by Ahmet Adnan Saygun.

[kalirren]

Oh, man.  The way Saygun deals with the "Aksak" rhythms is so distinctive...so close, yet so far.  I don't think I can narrow it down besides that.  The only Saygun pieces I know are the ones on Zeynep Üçbaşaran's CD "Saygun: Piano Music" (Naxos), and I don't think it's one of those works.

[coda_colossale]

As far as I know, Zeynep Üçbaşaran's CD doesn't include his Etudes on Aksak rhytms, even though all the pieces included are written in aksak rhytms. To keep the thread alive, I give the answer: It is his Etude No. 1 on Aksak Rhytms. Your turn.

[kalirren]

Sure.  That was a really good choice.

Mine is going to be much less of a puzzle.

Kaliren - I can't for the life of me name it, but whatever it was, I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!

Is it the Etude Op. 38 no. 1?

Is it the Etude Op. 38 no. 1?

Yes, my favourite in the set.

Sure.  That was a really good choice.

Rather difficult, at least for me. Sadly, I don't think I'll be the one to post the next piece, but I enjoyed it
