What is 'it' you mean here?
They were supposed to be hints.

I was referring to the original question.

[Pulcinella]

Is it a real question, or does it just look like one?

Aha! Brain gearing up, so I think you might be onto 'it'!

[subcontrabass]

Aha! Brain gearing up, so I think you might be onto 'it'!

My investigations indicate a quasi-answer.

[teamsaint]

Not ringing any bells?
Nobody got a hunch?

Yup, thats what I thought.

Its the first one I can't get.
In fact I almost got queasy thinking about it.

( had to resort to a bit of googling on that, and cam up with some stuff with an appropriately marked first movement in a piece for 3 double basses....like yoi do...)

I was referring to the original question.

Oops! On second reading, your wording suggested that you might have had an idea.

Yes, it's a real question.

As if I'd mislead you!

Would you care to elaborate?

Looks like you're nearly there: first movement yes, but remember there's a double first, so you need to find another work.

Lord , typing on ipads is a pain......

Would you care to elaborate?

Michael Tippett: Symphony No 1, Movement 1: Allegro vigoroso, quasi alla breve

Niccolò Paganini: Caprice 24 (of 24): Quasi presto

Beethoven: "Rage over a lost penny": Rondo alla ingharese quasi un capriccio

Michael Tippett: Symphony No 1, Movement 1: Allegro vigoroso, quasi alla breve

Niccolò Paganini: Caprice 24 (of 24): Quasi presto

Beethoven: "Rage over a lost penny": Rondo alla ingharese quasi un capriccio

() as the Penguin Guide might rate it.

Yes, quasi is correct, but the Beethoven answer is not the one that is on the card, though I can see how you think it fits the bill. What sort of job might he be doing if he didn't declare the income?

[teamsaint]

MIchael Norris . Bass motives for 3 double basses. Ist Mvt Quasi cool.

Pags as above.
moonlighting for LvB, Quasi Una Fantasia.

No idea if the first is right, or what the second work in part one might be, if there is one.

Are we still looking for the qualification ?

for the LvB answer.
See subcontrabass's posting for the Michael piece I was thinking of.

So the full explanation is as follows.

Michael Tippett: Symphony No 1, Movement 1: Allegro vigoroso, quasi alla breve (a double first)

Niccolò Paganini: Caprice 24 (of 24): Quasi presto (24/24)

Ludwig van Beethoven: Sonata quasi una fantasia (Moonlight)

The 'qualification' was a sort of extra hint, as was my mention of 'daytime' (as opposed to moonlight) shift.
What was your 'motives' thought, though?

I think honours go to subcontrabass to set us the next riddle.

And that's it!

Check the title of the Michael Norris Piece.
Might even be worth listening to ?

[antongould]

Awesome Q and believe me I've been in plenty of those ... not even at the races here ....

[subcontrabass]

I think honours go to subcontrabass to set us the next riddle.

The earliest that I can offer will be tomorrow evening, so I would be happy for teamsaint to chip in before then.
