Featured Sounds[edit]

(List not complete by any means - I have 40% of all FSes, so I need to copy over a lot more =) )

1898 – Fantasie

Gabriel Fauré's Fantasie (1898), performed circa 1976 by Alex Murray (flute) and Martha Goldstein (piano).

1906 – Frog Legs Rag

Frog Legs Rag, a classic ragtime piece by James Scott. Performed on a synthesized piano by Wikipedian Adam Cuerden in 2010 with technical assistance from Jujutacular.

1914 – Duo for violin and cello

Zoltán Kodály's Duo for violin and cello, Op. 7, performed by the U.S. Army Strings.

1917 – Études-Tableaux, Op. 39, No. 5

Sergei Rachmaninoff wrote two sets of Études-Tableaux in 1911 (Op. 33) and 1917 (Op. 39); this recording is one of the pieces in the second, Opus 39 set. Conceived as "picture pieces", meant to evoke a visual scene, Rachmaninoff nonetheless declined to identify which scene he had in mind for most of the pieces, saying, "I don't believe in the artist that discloses too much of his images. Let [the listener] paint for themselves what it most suggests." Performed by Karine Gilanyan for Musopen.

This has some strange aspects, like a crop that removes a person from the photo, and I think the flag was actually originally transparent...
