Quiz #9: The Day You’ve All Been Waiting For
[Drumroll] The Super Ultimate Winner of OM Quiz #9 is none other than Roger Miller. Unless the intertubes exist in the afterlife, it’s probably not this Roger Miller but nevermind.
The answer is Claude Debussy String Quartet in G minor Op 10 (fourth movement) completed in 1893.
The mass of responses flooding the OM mailbag indicate that the Quiz was a little more of a softball than Miss Mussel intended but that’s ok. As always, your participation is much appreciated as the game’s not so fun if Miss Mussel is the only player.
Our Quiz #9 Super Ultimate Winner Roger deserves special mention achieving the OM Quiz record for fastest correct answer. Those interested in breaking it next week will have to respond less than six hours from time of posting. Just so you know. You might need to set your alarm.
The recording used this week was the a 1996 album by the Tokyo String Quartet also containing the Ravel SQ and a piano trio by Fauré. It’s really quite an excellent recording, so if you don’t have any of these opi nestling comfortably on your shelves, adopt them today.
