In its form with which we are most typically familiar, "The Great Gate of Kiev" was significantly changed by which Frenchman..

1 - Henri Philidor
2 - General Bourbaki
3 - Jean Jaures
4 - Maurice Ravel

3

I am familiar with only one of these names, and he doesn't seem likely.

Well, I'm hoping it was 2.

I'll guess Ravel.

This is good so far.

It would, for example, be a good FJ! question....

I'll say #2. Perhaps because he put a different lock on the gate and had to change the key.

Three sounds really French to me.

Otherwise, I have no clue.

A WAG (and a PTP inthe wrong thread)

Tribe! How lovely of you to join us.

If this were democracy, General Bourbaki would win.. This obscure general of one of France's most unsuccessful wars (Franco-Prussian) in fact had his name borrowed to be used by the collective authorship of a series of mathematical monographs. In Math, something by "Bourbaki" would be of highest quality.

"The Great Gate of Kiev" was originally a painting for a proposal to buld a gate, then a piano piece at the end of Mousorgksy's Pictures at an Exhibition.

And is probably heard most frequently in the transcription for orchjestra by Maurice Ravel....

I GOT ONE!!

It's not a blue moon this month, is it?

silvercamaro · #15 Post by **silvercamaro** » Fri May 23, 2008 8:57 pm

So I shoulda gone with the familiar. Poop. Or, relatively speaking, poopish.

mellytu74 · #16 Post by **mellytu74** » Fri May 23, 2008 8:58 pm

Hi, tribe!

Oaky, so does that mean they are all right?

I am soooo confused!

No. It means only "4" is right.

Jaures was a famous socialist, and Philidor a chessplayer.

T_Bone0806 · #18 Post by **T_Bone0806** » Fri May 23, 2008 8:59 pm

Ravel is the only one I've heard of, so I figured it couldn't be him!

Beebs52 · #19 Post by **Beebs52** » Fri May 23, 2008 9:00 pm

Well crap. I wasn't thinking music. mumblelelelely

Are all the questions in one thread tonight? I'm multi-tasking...burning CD's for tomorrow's reception for Russell.

I have enough trouble keeping up without trying to do something else!

You crack me up.

I like anyone named General, so I will say 2.
