Competition

This month you can win a Pentatone cd of the Seventh Symphony by Dmitri Shostakovich if you know the correct answer to our prize question.

Last month's question: ‘Treemonisha’ was composed by Scott Joplin in 1911. His orchestration was unfortunately lost due to water damage. The work was not thought interesting enough to preserve. In what year did this happen and in what year was the work first performed in Atlanta on the basis of a reconstruction of the orchestral score?

The answer was: It was lost
in 1962 and the première was
in 1972. The winner of the cd
of ‘Treemonisha’ is Emiel van Duijnen Montijn from Zutphen. Congratulations!
