The Omniscient Mussel

Quiz #19 Clue One

After a run of tricky mystery pieces, Miss Mussel has been trying to lob a few softballs in your direction these last couple of weeks. So far, it seems that she has failed utterly. Or, now that the academic year and concert season is over, most of you have traded in your internet addiction for summer relaxation-type activities. Why go to the beach when you can hang out on the internet with a maguerita, or read blogs in Hawaiian print surf shorts?

Here’s the first batch of clues:

1) The composer has a one syllable surname
2) The piece is in a form that is no longer used, except when composers want to reference something really old-fashioned.
3) There are five other pieces in the set.

Yesterday’s sunny optimism has been overtaken by a dreary grey sky. As such, the next movement added to the player is perfect for reflecting on the meaning of life and other activities of the navel gazing variety. If it all proves to be too much, just flick back to Track I and toe tap that introspection away.
