Classical music teaser - round 4

Q4 : Bach's St John Passion?

[Megan]

No.2 “The Four Seasons” ballet from I vespri siciliani

[Michael]

Clue for no.4 - look to the distant past.

It wouldn't be Wagner's opera "Look to the Distant Past" which he composed in ten minutes in 1849? (Unfortunately, I don't have the German title.)

No because my clue would have been the answer! In any case I mean the very distant past!

[Michael]

Stravinsky? "The Rite of Spring" ?

[PDG]

Peter always seems to acknowledge Michael's incorrect answers but no one else's. Hmmm...

Anyway, I'm just glad that the Dandy has been mentioned in this thread. It's still a fine read but sadly will end its 75-year existence in a mere two weeks...

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

4: Stravinsky "Pucinella" ?

[Michael]

Peter always seems to acknowledge Michael's incorrect answers but no one else's. Hmmm...

...

My answer was so ridiculous that it couldn't be taken seriously. I was surprised it was even acknowledged.
I have no idea whatsoever what the corrrect answer is.

Not strictly true if you look back - I usually only respond to a wrong answer with a further clue and I'll give you two as you're obviously feeling left out - In no.4 it sounds like him. No.2 contains the name of the ballet.

[Megan]

No. 2 , Verdi UN BALLO IN MASCHERA [A MASKED BALL]

Since Masked Balls are colourful, I'll plump for that.

[Quijote]

Come on guys and girls, let's not let the Blue Baron remain unvanquished ....

[Chris]

Clearly we have only one option left. I'll get it started.

Aaron Aardvark - Arabesque, Op. 1

Aaron Aardvark - Arabesque, Op. 1

Aaron Aardvark's Op. 1 was actually an Aria in A flat. (I hate to be pedantic but we must get our facts right. I'm surprised at you, Chris.)

Beethoven's Bundeslied in B flat.

(Somebody stop this - quickly!!!)

It must have been a misprint on the packaging of the Brilliant Classics Complete Aardvark Edition!

Er, guys, you're on the wrong quiz !!!!
