Who Wants To Be A FoG Millionaire?

[Zaph]

8.33am:

Gotta answer this even if it's a guess.  I'll never win by banking at €16K.

Q10.
A) Definitely not Irving Berlin.  He wrote White Christmas.  Rhapsody is more light classical I think.
B) I don't think it's Gershwin.  Didn't he do Porgy & Bess?  I don't think he did Rhapsody too.
C) Copeland, yeah, maybe him, mainly because I don't think it's the others.
D) Porter, no, like Berlin I think he did more "pop songs" (for the era) than classical.

I wish I remembered something else Copeland did so I could compare.  I'm still leaning that way.  It might just be Gershwin though at an outside chance.

11.17am:

When I wrote earlier I was about 75% Copeland and 25% Gershwin.

I'm now about 55% Copeland and 45% Gershwin.

Only thing is, if I go Gershwin and it ends up being Copeland I'll be a lot more annoyed at myself for not going with my initial gut than if it go Copeland and it ends up being Gershwin.

If this were real life I'd 100% take the money.

Arrrrrrrrrrrraghhhhh!  What are you doing to me Kol??  What am I doing to myself?

11.26am:

Okay, I flipped a coin at it came up Gershwin.  But I wasn't comfortable submitting that, so I decided on best of three, and flipped twice more and the next two came up Copeland.

The very fact that I didn't want to take the initial result and go for best of three instead, actually tells me more than the result itself.  I'm going to go for C) Aaron Copeland, final answer.

After all that, it'll probably end up being Berlin or Porter, but if it is, then I have no regrets over not picking them as they were never in contention.

Now, must - resist - Googling - answer!!

Poor Kol receiving those PMs!

Fanfare for the Common Man is probably Copeland's best known work.  Emerson, Lake and Palmer did a version of it in the 70s.  The video was shot in the partially built Montreal Olympic stadium iirc.
