In the next programme in the series, we are looking at Musical Fingerprints Part 6.

What are these?
These are the unique characteristics of individual composers, instruments, periods of music, musical styles and specific compositional types that an observant listener will immediately identify.

In today’s programme I am going to play 6 mystery items for you.
My challenge to you will to identify the period of composition of each based on the musical fingerprints we covered in the last four weeks.

Naturally, I will give you comments after each piece so can check your outcome.
And, I end this programme with a thrilling climax
