My head right now:
Ok, C.P.E Bach was born in 1714 and died in 1788, his half-brother J.C. Bach was born when J.S. Bach was 50, so that means... 1735? And he died before C.P.E., I think in 1782. Domenico Scarlatti (born 1685, same year as J.S. Bach, died 1757, seven years after Bach and two before Handel), Sonata in D Major, Kirkpatrick #119; C.P.E. Bach Sonata in A Major, can't remember the number on that... J.C. Bach, Concerto for Piano or Harpsichord in E-Flat. Ok. Haydn born the same year John Gay died, and Pergolesi was born in 1710 and died at the age of 26, meaning... 1736. Right. ...What was the name of that recitative? "Son imbrogliato io," but what was the aria? "Ah, quanto something male..." Crap.
Listening tests (obviously involving knowledge of the composers' birth and death dates) are the worst.
