Classical music teaser
RULES:
After attempting one question you have to wait 24 hours before attempting another one unless someone else has attempted that question first. The questions cover anything to do with classical music and are not Beethoven specific.
If anyone wishes to send a PM with their anwers that's ok - but I won't ackowledge them as correct or wrong until posted on the forum - however if they are correct and someone else posts it first on the forum, then I'll credit the person with the PM as well.
1) The thin red line holds the original medieval key. Answered by Philip (and Michael by PM): In Guido d'Arezzo's notation, F clef (key) was the first clef with a thin red line drawn through.
2) The 3rd song for an aquatic lady. Answered by PDG: Ave Maria by Schubert (based on Walter Scott's 'The Lady of the Lake'). Ellen's Song, number 3.
3) A superimposed finale leads to tedium. Answered by Michael (and Philip in a PM): The "Te Deum" that Bruckner sanctioned as a substitute finale to his 9th symphony.
4) You can't put this symphony out. Answered by Roehre: Nielsen symphony no.4 "The inextinguishable"
5) This young guy was a bit of a gambler in Leipzig. Answered by Philip: Wagner was quite a gambler in his youth and got himself into a lot of financial trouble - there was another clue in there which I don't know if anyone picked up on - 'Guy was a' - Wagner used his step-father's name of Geyer up until he was a teenager. Possibly Geyer may even have been his real father.
6) Lord Dudley Stuart sorts it out at the Guildhall. Answered by Michael (and Philip by PM): Lord Dudley Stuart was a passionate advocate of Polish independence and a member of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland. In 1848 he organised Chopin's final public concert at the Guildhall in London. Their paths had crossed before on a previous visit to England in 1837 (July/Aug) when Chopin visited Arundel and witnessed the first parliamentary election of Queen Victoria's reign which saw Lord Dudley Stuart defeated.
