PianoTeq, creators of a piano modeling virtual instrument, has announced a contest:

We hereby launch a contest, open for everybody, where there will be 3 winners, each receiving a license of Pianoteq. If you already own a license, you will be offered a free upgrade to a forthcoming product.

In the following audio file, you will hear a medley of classical piano works by famous composers. Tell us which composers you can hear in this medley. If you manage to recognize all of them, in the correct order, you will participate in the lottery of 3 Pianoteq licenses. The lottery will take place on May 31 which is the last day to participate.

There are a total of 10 excerpts of piano works by 10 composers. Some may be piano transcriptions of orchestral works, some may be easily recognized, others may be a challenge… When you have a list of all composers, send the answers to me (you need to be registered and logged in to do this) with a list in the correct order. You do not have to know the works, just who composed each of them.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Please do not discuss the entries in this or any other forum but feel free to consult your friends, family or colleagues privately.

You can preview the contest medley below.
