I didn't even have to hear the music -- the minute I heard, "Horn, violin and piano," I shouted out "BRAHMS BRAHMS BRAHMS!!!*"

*I didn't think they'd have the guts to use the Ligeti piece that uses the same combination of instruments.

University Challenge has a weird selection of questions; some of them are unnecessarily obscure, while others are easily solved with just one of the 3 hints given...

This should be fun though!
