The unknown knowns

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

Is "knowing" the same as "naming" ?

alas in Mr Pee's case it is .....

what an abusive nuisance he is

[amateur51]

Sorry, Mr GG, I've got it now. Although what he has to do with music, I have no idea:-

Mr Pee's post is like an old dog breaking wind after his meal - utterly predictable and you feel you shouldn't blame him, he can't help it, but ....

Who he?

I would be very surprised if a regular contributor to these boards had not heard it before.

Well, that's my point - I obviously had heard it, but wasn't aware that I had.


However, judging by the responses nobody else seems to have had similar experiences with other works, so obviously I'm unique in that (as in so many other ways )

Or perhaps I should have been more explicit, & added, rather as Fred used to do, HAS ANYBODY ELSE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE?

I'll throw in Malcolm Arnold's 1st English Dance from his second set and this from Dvorak's Serenade as examples of "unknown knowns" (until recently obviously ).

[Sir Velo]

I suspect the tune 5:00 in to this excerpt would qualify as an "unknown known" for anyone familiar with a certain famous TV show of the 60s.

HAS ANYBODY ELSE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE?

... many times. Many times. Many, many times. Many, many, many times....

It usually ends up being Tchaikovsky. Or Rachmaninov.

...HAS ANYBODY ELSE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE?

Certainly. In my case the three composers who first spring to mind are Frank Bridge (The Sea), Dvorak (the symphonic poems) and Albert Roussel (almost anything).
