The first chord is an arpeggiated C# minor chord, the vi chord of E minor, beginning in 2nd inversion with the G#, with a sustained C# root in the bass or left hand.

^^ 5 Points!

 

...And I only put that up as a joke (thumbs u

 

By all means, keep it up. This might be the only way I can beat that Aldred fellow.

Beethoven's contribution to music history cannot be understated: he was the bridge between the Classical and Romantic periods, no less than one of the three giants of Western Music (the others being Bach and Mozart.)

 

However....

 

...had Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart survived, it is possible that Beethoven would have been considered a second tier composer, along the lines of Mendelssohn, or D. Scarlatti, or maybe Haydn. Mozart was, even as he was dying, experimenting with chords, themes, and harmonic expressions that would find their full development with Beethoven and the Romantic period.

 

Good thing for Beethoven, huh...?

 

No one cares about Beets n' Wolfy, huh?

 

hm

 

That's going to be the name of my new sitcom.

 

Two struggling musicians, living together in the dog-eat-dog world of 18th century Vienna....one, the genius prodigy, who never gets paid what he's worth and is constantly trying to make ends meet, the other the brash young upstart, determined to make a name for himself in the modern music scene of Austria.

 

It'll be a HIT, I tells ya! A HIT!

Is one of them easy-going and messy, and the other is the opposite?

Yes. No one's ever done anything like it. It will be TOTES original.

 

(Totes, right...? Is that what those new-fangled hippoes with the beards are saying these days?)

I thought that was a very good insight into Beethoven.

Just a reminder.

 

The Music Game starts tomorrow, Wednesday 8/19/15 @Noon (PDT).

 

Should be fun. :)

 

I'll post more details later today.

 

Details

- This is a video-based music game. It's approximately 15 minutes in length.

- There are 10 songs, each approximately one minute in length.

- Songs are identified by number in the video. The number will appear for 14 seconds.

- Each song is worth 5 to 10 points depending on the degree of difficulty (see chart below).

- Points will be earned by being the first to correctly post the song title, artist, and corresponding number here in the DFJ. For example, "3) Song Title, Artist."

- Most of the songs in this particular game are easy to identify.

 

Points Per Song

1) 7

2) 8

3) 5

4) 7

5) 5

6) 7

7) 10

8) 7

9) 8

10) 7

 

Advice on Playing

- I've obviously never played this game before, but I'm guessing the best way to play would be to have two windows open: one playing the video; and the other opened to the DFJ, allowing you to post your answers without affecting playback of the video.

- Crank the volume. The software used only allowed limited gain control, so there are a couple of tunes that are noticeably lower in volume than the others. Plus, you'll miss the whole experience if you play it like MUZAK in an elevator, and if I find out I'll make fun of you.

 

If there's a lot of participation and interest, I might do more (probably with limited video content); otherwise, these are WAY too difficult to produce. :cry:

 

The Music Game starts tomorrow, Wednesday 8/19/15 @Noon (PDT).
