Oops.  Wrong one.  K 239 1st half.  But Scarlatti wrote it in f minor.

But what on earth is this program/game?

Yes I think you might be right but yeah which one ahah!

... K 239 1st half.  But Scarlatti wrote it in f minor.

Thanks a lot frodo1 for solving the puzzle much appreciated. Sonata in F minor K239

But what on earth is this program/game?

It was the first music program I used when I was very young on the commodore 64. It was very limited, I think you could only have a max of 3 or 4 notes simultaneously sounding lol! There was no mouse so you had to control everything with a joystick. I used to input parts of pieces into the program to hear what they sounded like because my reading skills were crappy back then. There are a number of gems on the playlist that you hardly ever hear.

You're welcome.  2nd piece on the playlist Estudio Brillante by Francisco Tarrega is a gem.

Merry Christmas!

Yes I learned that piece from music shop a long time ago too and when the internet came out I figured out it was actually a guitar piece! There are some good piano versions of it too.

I always liked Kajun Clog (I though it was such a difficult piece with many notes lol) and Elephant Trot, but I've not been able to source where they are from yet. When searching for Kajun Clog a number of years ago I came across a documentary by David Hoffman (who has made many great documentary short films)
