It seems to me to be an unnecessary invention. I mean, come on, what's difficult about this?

On the other hand, this,



unlike your example, is intended to be taken seriously.

If anyone can identify the composer AND the work this is taken from they will receive a prize from me.

One of your works RichardBarrett?

I'm afraid not, BBM. But I need the title as well as the composer!

Ouch! I guess that ought to know but could do no more than hazard a guess at the composer, though not the work title - and even as I write Gordon Downie? I feel certain that I'm wrong; I don't recall seeing rests like these anywhere in a score.

On second thoughts, no - Downie it ain't; the first bar might have been but the second - no.

Hmmm; over to those with far better knowledge than mine, methinks!...

... is the wrong answer, Caliban!

[EdgeleyRob]

Is it The Bay City Rollers,Bye Bye Baby ?

Not Cacofonix then?

That's several wrong answers so far (including mine); time for the correct one, surely?...

[teamsaint]

Rick Wakeman?

Scarlatti on a bad trip?

[mercia]

Messiaen ?

what are those really short notes called ? I'm lost after hemi-demi-semi.

[Richard Barrett]

Heavens, is that the best you people can do?

[EdgeleyRob]

I'm right with Bay City Rollers though aren't I,just the wrong song ?

[mercia]

Boulez ? is my final offer - I'm somewhat beyond caring

[ahinton]

No - not Boulez or Messiaen, not Wakeman or any Rollers.

Not Finnissy or Ferneyhough, je crois. Sorry. Hands up. Dunno, sir!

I suspect that you'll just have to put us out of our respective miseries (or not, as you wish)...
