Good quiz! You are correct that several questions are far more difficult thatn others. I have submitted 8 classical music quizzes of my own, but couldn't answer your G, X, or Z questions!

(Hey, it's no fun if there are no challenges or new things to learn.)

Glad you enjoyed the quiz! Out of the ones you missed, Zemlinsky is a particularly favourite of mine.
