Classical Heardle

What is Classical Heardle?

Classical Heardle is a free music quiz in the browser, inspired by Heardle: you hear 1 s of a classical piece and guess the composer, with longer clips if you need them. Every day brings a new daily challenge, the same for everyone, plus a 30-level quest and unlimited free play.

How to play Classical Heardle

1. Press play to hear 1 s of a track.
2. Type the composer. Not sure? Unlock a longer clip (1 s, 3 s, 6 s and 12 s).
3. Points: 4 / 3 / 2 / 1 depending on how much you listened, +2 more if you type the track title straight away.
4. You start with 3 hearts and lose one per mistake.

Free play has several modes: Classic, Sudden death (one heart), Time attack (90 seconds), Reverse (find the right clip among three) and Single game. Correct answers in a row build a combo, and the best scores go on the leaderboard.

Classical music

From the Baroque of Bach and Vivaldi to the 20th century of Ravel and Orff, by way of Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and Tchaikovsky: you hear an excerpt of a famous work and guess who composed it. Many of these pieces are known from ads or films without people always knowing who wrote them.

299 tracks from 69 composers.
