Welcome to KillingClassicalMusic.com’s “Drop the Needle” Contest! - Updated to 30”
It’s the last Wednesday of the month and that means Drop the Needle gets serious. Today’s winner will receive a complimentary copy of the recording in question courtesy Delos Productions. For more details on that click here. And remember, if you get the right answer from the shorter clips, you’ll have a better chance of being selected as the final winner.
An important hint: This piece is from a major new recording, and I expect the winner will have to give as much detail as possible as to the name of the work, etc.
Here is the second installment of today’s drop the needle competition. It’s just 30 seconds long. If you don’t get it now, you’ll get a 60 second clip later.

This is the first installment of today’s drop the needle competition. It’s just 10 seconds long. If you don’t get it now, you’ll get a 30 second clip later, and later still you’ll get a 60 second clip.
This is a guest post by Lawrence Abernathy. If you would like to submit an article for inclusion within the KillingClassicalMusic community, you are welcome to do so here.
So for the new year you’ve decided to do something different. Something to get away from the reality of work, school – whatever it is you’re escaping – to meet knew people and find a new passion. Maybe you could join a gym and try the latest trendy dance workout. Possibly there is a new book club or poetry reading hour at the local book store; or maybe, just MAYBE, you could join a choir. You know, one of those glee club things that meet once a week and perform some of the greatest music ever composed.
I sense some trepidation from a few folks reading this – it’s almost palpable, even through a computer screen. But, not to worry! This guide is going to show you a step by step guide on how to join a choir, and what you should expect before joining, during the rehearsal schedule and after the performance. With this article I hope to provide at least a look into the realm of choraldom and hopefully show a few people that yes, you can do this and you’ll have a great time doing it.
The first question that you need to ask yourself is: What is my favorite type of music?
My apologies for not keeping up with the site this week. Illness has had me down while I’ve been struggling through the end of a major project. I hope to be back at it next week.
The results are in! As always, thanks much to all of you who participated in this week’s “Drop the Needle” competition. This week just three, participants got everything correct, including the name of the the piece which was the fourth movement of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Opus 135, the String Quartet No. 16 in F Major.
Here’s the whole thing for you to enjoy:

Congratulations and thanks again to everyone who participated. If you have ideas for pieces you think would be particularly difficult for people to guess, please let me know.
