Just to inform Mr Grew that Puzzle 288 remains unsolved. Sullivan's Martyr of Antioch, as solved by Mr Iron, was Puzzle 290, as set by Mr Watson. Thank you Mr. Inquisitor it should be right now. |

Yes Indeed - Goossens Phantasy Sextet. A terrific work, so please investigate if you don't know it.
Tommo
I am just downloading it from the Chandos website, as the disc is no longer widely available. The first movement Con fuoco is playing now - a most promising start!  |

I think I am now on 5931.
If other members are piling on points more than I am, they could be near 22,500......

Well, I've just finished listening to the Goossens - what a terrific piece. Thanks, Tommo, for posting it as a snatch! For what it's worth, I suspect I'm somewhere below you in the league table as I calculate I passed the 22,500 mark sometime this evening (unless, of course, somebody else got there first!)  |

303 - How about the Tone Poem Toman a lesní panna by Vitezslav Novak? Not that one Mr. Baziron. Well we see you have rightly "scrubbed" it. Better still - let's scrub that, and go for Novak's Lady Godiva (which fits your clues better!). Good work that is the one! Novak's Overture Lady Godiva, the "Scottish atmosphere" of which was much praised by Czech commentators. Is that because the Czechs thought that Scotland was part of the West Midlands? Baz  |

No.316 is William Kroll's Banjo and Fiddle for violin & piano
This dovetails in nicely with the latest 'Musical Connections' puzzle I set, which is based on pieces with musical instruments as their title which don't actually feature in the piece: Fauré/ Debussy - MandolineMoszkowski/ Lalo - GuitarreVaughan Williams – Orpheus with his luteGottschalk – Le banjoSaint-Saëns - Guitarres et mandolines |

Yes indeed Mr H and I should be surprised if you didn't also know no.282.
I think I may do but I can't quite place it... Am I right in thinking that the previous clues for this snatch are that the composer is German, the piece is for two soloists (neither of whom are playing in this extract) and was written in 1974? |

That's correct, hh. Indeed the two soloists make no sound at all most of the time.

Oh! Oh! Oh! 282 is Stockhausen's Inori init! it certainly is. Well you did kind of hand that out on a platter... It was a matter of getting there before anyone else! Now I have to focus on my lecture tomorrow: anyone know anything about 19th Century opera? |

All the languishing logs are still "on the track" to appear to-morrow, incidentally. We are keen to confirm Mr. Inquisitor's predicted speedy rise to 25,500 points!
Thank you Member Grew. I am still itching! (and fully expect to be still in 8th place!) Mr T |

Novak's Overture Lady Godiva, the "Scottish atmosphere" of which was much praised by Czech commentators. Is that because the Czechs thought that Scotland was part of the West Midlands? Baz Probably it was that having the innate taste and discernment evident in so much of their music they in 1907 felt that even to draw the distinction in respect of that far-away country had about it an intolerable air of the infra dignitatem. |
