The A-Z Beethoven Quiz (rules of the game)

[Michael]

Dittersdorf, Carl Ditters von. B wrote a set of piano variations on one of his tunes.

[Roehre]

E = Esterhazy, family of princes for which Beethoven composed his Mass in C op.86.

[PDG]

Shouldn't there be an E flat between D and E? Thus:

E flat: Many magnificent works in this key, eg. The Eroica, op.55; The Emperor Concerto, Op.73; The Harp Quartet, Op.74.

[Sorrano]

Shouldn't there be an E flat between D and E? Thus:

Yeah, D sharp is a bit obscure.

[PDG]

BTW, Sorrano, I, too, have a great (and genuine) 'X'. I hope to lay it on this scrabble board of a quiz before you get yours down!

You are likely to beat me to it, as well, with the way work has been going here.

[Chris]

F = Fantasia - A free type of composition occasionally used by Beethoven, such as in his Fantasia for piano, Op.77

[Quijote]

E = Esterhazy, family of princes for which Beethoven composed his Mass in C op.86.

Sorry Roehre, already covered. See Post #13, page 1.
E is still up for grabs. No answer in 24hrs, it'll be up to Michael to provide it.

[Quijote]

Hang fire Chris until we get the "E". When that's done we'll take your "F" and move onto "G". Hope that's clear to everyone!
Wait for the "E" ladies and gents, please!

[Sorrano]

E is for Egmont, magnificent overture and incidental music. We should be clear for G.

[Quijote]

Thank you Sorrano. We'll take Chris's "F" (Fantasia). Now we're after a new "G".
G is for ...

[Sorrano]

Would I be out of turn to supply a G?

[Quijote]

Après vous, Monsieur !

[Sorrano]

G is for grosse fugue.

[PDG]

(thought he was gonna put Gorgo...)...
