How well do you know Ragtime?

Posted: 2/25/05 at 5:29pm

Take this quiz and find out!

(And no cheating)
Take my Quiz! and then Check out the Scoreboard!" >Ragtime Quiz
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

That's why you hit the "Check out the scoreboard" and take the quiz from there re: How well do you know Ragtime?

Actually bially, I did, because that is what happened with the other quizes I created on the off-topic board.

Ooooh, I only got a 50. I knew I should have seen the show more than once.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Thanks guys. I can see where you are getting them wrong. The questions are pretty tricky (Especially the President one)

One of the answers is definitely wrong...
Or there might be more than one correct answer...

Yeah, #1 is wrong. 1902.

"In 1902, Father built a house at the crest of the Broadview Ave. hill in New Rochelle, New York. And it seemed, for some years thereafter, that all the family's days would be warm and fair."

Should I go on? re: How well do you know Ragtime?

Well, it depends on what you're talking about. Father built the house in 1902, but when Emma Goldman talks about Evelyn, she says, "It was only 1906!" And the ensemble kicks in, "And there were 94 years to go!" So, not the answer, but the QUESTION seems to be suspect here. Which date are you looking for?

I got a 90%... I could have SWORN they wrote "Sarah Brown Eyes" for Audra because they felt Sarah needed a stronger presence in Act II, despite her 'deceased' status...

I've got an unusual Ragtime question: is there a particular reason why there's two different CD designs? I know there's the blue one with the statue of liberty, but my library's copy's cover is the colors and logo of the vocal selections (http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1576239551/ref=sib_dp_pt/104-0709671-5443955#reader-link), but instead of the statue, there are dark silhouettes in different poses. (I'm sure someone here has it.) Just curious about why there's a difference (or if there's even a reason at all).

I have the Sihouette cover as well.

Yes, some of those questions are misleading.

They talk about something that happened in 1902 but it could start in 1906. They would be referencing 1902. He says "IN 1902 father built..." then later they say "IT WAS 1906 and there were 94 years to go." I believe the 1902 is spoken in 1906 about 1902....Did anybody understand that?...
