good teaser i liked it keep it up k2w2 man
I'm so full of culture, so i knew that
Well there's no reason why he shouldn't finish it seeing as schubert didn't bother.
This teaser should b under a new heading "music". Good 1 it got me and my moms a classical nut!
ahem. wasnt it Mozart? never mind, i need to go got some education, i guess. lol. but these teasers are kinda dumb, after the first time. i mean, imagine this: why didnt the cat bark when you pulled his tail? cats dont bark. lol. maybe i should submit that... but you got the point, i dont like duplicates, and it is in a way a duplicate to the round table thing.
Actually my dear Dina, Lionheart would be a duplicate of this teaser, not vice versa. I added this one well over a month ago, while it appears that Lionheart has been on here for less than a week.
this puzzle is hardly highbrow... it's a cliche concept. throw in some classical composers and you think that it's original? far from it.
I thought it was because then it would have not been called The Unfinished Symphony.
and here i was thinking the answer was because he didn't want to (just because he didn't start it doesn't mean he couldn't finish it)
Right. Just as Mozart didn't finish his unfinished requiem. He died before it was done, and other(s) filled in the uncompleted parts as best they could.
Great Brain Teaser, loved it.
Knowing nothing about classical music, I thought the answered was "he died."
Interesting, but there's tons of composers with unfinished symphonies. Schubert's just happens to be the most popular for some reason.
I knew it was Schubert.
Love me some classical music
