For the first vid:
Well I recognized most of them of course, some I could name the piece, some I could only name the composer.
Both title and composer I lost my count a bit, but I got maybe 35 or 36 correct. So that's just 50%, could be better ;-)
How many did you get?

[Heather]

I think that’s really good, Dirk! I actually didn’t count when I first found them, I was just listening. I’ll have to go back and actually tally up which ones I know. I would probably get just the composer for the majority of them, more than the name of the piece. But I assure you I wouldn’t get anywhere near even 50%.

Well, I took some time and did test number 2, 3 and even 4.
And I must say they get harder and harder:
Test 2: 9/30
Test 3: 4/30
Test 4: 3/30

I did the first test. All but a few of these were very familiar to me, but the brainsieve couldnt always come up with both name and composer. Some I could get name or composer , but not both. Of the the whole bunch I got 17 right.

How many were there? It seemed to just go on and on and on.

If you scroll down in the comments there's a list with the titles and composers and I think the total was 70 or maybe 72.
The other tests are shorter, just 14 minutes vid.

Well, I wrote my list for the first test. I don’t think very quickly under a time restraint, I would fail miserably at Jeopardy! There were many pieces that I knew but I would blank on the name or composer until it showed it at the end then I’d think “oh duh!”

I can’t believe I missed two of the Mozart! I knew the songs but totally had a brain fog when it was given that they were by Mozart.

I feel bit inferior knowing how few names I can actually place. I knew many of the pieces but not the specifics, I’m just familiar with the music. So I got 15 right and of those I only got 9 both title and composer.
