Welcome
to C Minor Mastery Sample Quiz. We have one of these after each Chapter
of the story behind the creation of the C
Minor Mass. The contestant earning the most points wins two free front-row
tickets to our performance on January 19th, during which the Conductor
shall proclaim you Pointmeister of Westchester.
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. The bonus
points will be awarded immediately following the deadline for all entries,
which is January 8th. See the Official
Rules for details.
The
Chapters & Quizzes are posted in two-week intervals throughout November
and December. Subscribers to our C
Minor Mastery newsletter get each Chapter right in their inbox the
day it goes live, so they won't run the risk of forgetting to play a round.
So if you haven't yet subscribed, there's no better time than right now.
Simply click
here — it only takes a few seconds.
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.

It's
December 29, 1778. Wolfgang finally works up the nerve to ask Aloysia
for her hand in marriage, but she rejects the proposal outright. Devastated,
he comes to you, his dear friend, and cries for what seems like hours.
Upon regaining his composure he strides over to your clavier, sits down
and belts out:
"Let the wench
who does not want me kiss my ass!"
Since
Köchel somehow failed to catalog this heart-warming aria brevis,
we turn to you to tell us, pray, how did the second verse go?
