Alphabet Associations - II

[LeMartinPecheur]

Summary of progress so far

I wanted 3 full titles of works called Rondo.

Cloughie has got the non-Sanskrit-connected one, Hungarian Rondo. Kodaly will do nicely as a composer but there are others.

Similarly, the 'over-imaginative' Rondo can come from several composers because it, with some slightly different spellings, is a pretty common title. 'Capriccioso' was a good shot but not right on the money. I'll accept anything in the right ballpark for spelling and composer.

The 'oscillatory' rondo is AFAIK a unique title. The English title (by which it seems always to be listed on disc) has the same number of words, and the words have the same syllable-counts, as 'Rondo a la Turk'. Its composer spoke one of the other two non-Sanskrit-linked W. European languages (pure coincidence, I didn't spot this when I set it). (EDIT This para now overtaken by events: cloughie got it while I was writing)

[LeMartinPecheur]

Sibelius:Rondo of the waves - I guess the oscillatory one!

This thread is infuriating but very educational!

You do indeed! Did the Sanskrit steer help at all?

You sneaked in under the radar once again while I was busy on #3481.

Phew, nearly there guys!

cloughie's right in that it's certainly something ending in 'al'

Looking forward to a considerably less tortuous 'S'.

If we ever get the Rondo 3! Where’s anton when we need him!

Might I suggest a search for Rondo on Amazon's Classical Music listings?

Rondo brilliant

Rondo brilliant

Again, not quite. But 'brilliant' is a pretty exact equivalent in street-English.

Something like:
Who composed Firebird, Petrushka, and The rite of spring?

You would get a rondo applause if you can give us No3

[LeMartinPecheur]

OK, sorry, I really didn't mean to make it difficult guys! I haven't had much practice at setting. Time to pull the plug?

Could be not that it was hard but we contestants are not very bright!
Just give us a last obvious hint like the nationality of the composer(s)!

Give us a clue - is he dead? (Notice how cunningly I smuggled a certain composer's initials into my question).
I had to stop worrying about 'R' because my head was starting to spin - or do I mean oscillate - and I was beginning to over-imagine what would happen if I carried on.
(Try as I might, I couldn't work Sanskrit into that last sentence).
Being a bear of little brain. I asked some of my friends. Wol didn't know, which is strangely comforting. Piglet suggested 'Help Me Rondo' by the Beach Boys, and Roo wondered whether the answer might be 'If I Were A Blackbird' by Rondo Ronalde.

Inadvertent coincidence, but one candidate for composer of an over-imaginative rondo just happens to be Hungarian, figuring prominently on a currently active MB thread.

Liszt?
