About BWV Guesser
What is this???
Just a hastily thrown together website to test your Bach-Werke-Verzeignis (BWV) guessing skills.
It's not complete, it can be slow sometimes, there may be server side errors, web design is not my passion, etc.
I have a suggestion/issue
If you have any issues or suggestions let me know: x@anna.computer, where x=anna.
What performances do you use?
All piano recordings on this website are by Glenn Gould. Other pieces are all over the place: I try to keep them somewhat uniform so you can't guess the piece from the heuristics like recording quality/tuning/instrumentation specifics. Feedback welcome :)
Midi files?
As mentioned above, it's sometimes easier to guess a piece based on the recording. For a subset of pieces I've created midi files with a hopefully somewhat uniform sound. Here the piece has to be guessed (mostly) from the notes alone. Pieces with choir were downloaded from learnchoralmusic.co.uk.
MIDI files are played with MuseScore. If you have suggestions on how to generate even more uniform MIDI files, let me know.
Usko mode??
For fellow Uskiets, I created a mode of pieces performed by the USKO in the last ~5 years as per this website:
