This is really interesting, and it reminds me of a game I used to play with my brothers as a kid. We're all classical musicians, and we used to make mix tape challenges for each other when we were young. It would be a 1-second snippet of a piece of music followed by 4 seconds of silence. You had to name the piece before the next 1-second sample started to get a point.<p>If you didn't know the specific piece, you could still get a point by guessing the nationality of the composer and the time it was written within 10 years. The available time period for music was anything from Pythagoras' time to the present day (would have been late 80s at the time we were playing.)<p>It ha to be reasonably describable as "classical" music. Not rock, jazz or blues or anything.<p>It was a hard fucking game for an 8-year-old, and we really worked each other over very hard.<p>I wonder if I could fork this and try to get it to tell the difference between, for example, Bach and Corelli, Mahler and Bruckner, or Zarlino and Palestrina.<p>Very cool project.
