Welcome
to C Minor Mastery Quiz 2. We put it in a separate browser window to make
it easier for you to refer back to any page on the site as you answer
the questions. Each correct answer will earn the point value shown.
Then,
for extra fun and oodles of potential bonus points, type in the funniest
response you can think of to the "You Were There" question at
the end. Please remember that all bonus points will be awarded immediately
following the deadline for all entries, which is January 8th. See the
Official Rules for details.
You'll
be asked to enter your name or initials or a nickname. That's not mandatory.
We would simply like to give you personal credit if any of your gems of
wit make it to the "Funniest Entries To Date" portion of the
Leader Board page. After all, a pair of
free tickets to our concert is pretty nice, but nothing compares with
glory and the envy of others now, does it?
And
if you haven't yet subscribed to our C
Minor Mastery newsletter, there's no better time than now. (Yet another
window opens up, so you won't lose your place.) As a subscriber, you'll
get each chapter presented right there in your inbox, so you won't run
the risk of forgetting to play a round.
And
whatever you do, don't forget to buy your advance
tickets early! Sales are brisk, and you'll get mighty cold trying
listen to our concert from outside the White Plains
Presbyterian Church in the middle of January. The stained glass windows
don't open, either.
Have
fun and good luck!

It's
January 1782. Leopold was so livid upon hearing about Frau Weber's marriage
contract that he suggested to Wolfgang that she be put in chains, forced
to sweep streets and carry a placard around her neck inscribed with the
words "Seducer of Youth."
That's
pretty strong stuff, but maybe not strong enough.
