anyone recognize these pieces?
on: March 17, 2005, 05:45:00 AM
I've been trying to figure out where these three unrelated quotes come from, they've been annoyingly stuck in my head for a while now (a year), no one i've talked with knows what they are, so anyway....

(first one starts mid-phrase)

1) oboe, slow movement, chamber-music-like, maybe beethoven; 3/4
E G# A  882
AC#D   16 16 8 (or 32s?)
C#BA    //
GAB      //
AGF#     //

2) unsure about the key, orchestral strings ff
D A  AB  A      4 8.16 4 4
(I)    (V) (I)

G F#  EA (?)   4 8.16 4 ?

3) a quote from the 2nd theme from Archduke I (maybe in 20th century context?)
B B  A G G    F# E E    D ...       84 884 884 8..?

(sorry these are amazingly vague...)

thanks!

How do you know the notes without knowing the piece? Did you had a score with no name, or you have perfect pitch?

Sorry, the notes were mostly wrong (I'm not used to writing things out in 'CDEFGAH' notation). I think they're right now.
