That no.320 begins and ends with a reference to "The Leaves be Greene" aka "Browning", well-known from the consort piece by Wm. Byrd, or at least something from that corner, I'm not so sure now, but that doesn't really help... must be a British composer though...?

 Hot on the trail there, Mr Barrett!  |

Clue for puzzle 314 (the thing with organ): think of Benjamin Britten, Edward Elgar, Cornelius Cardew, and this Well, they all have duplicated initials. Maybe that would help me if I'd actually got round to listening to snatch no. 314. Since I'm not about to, I'll leave it as an eventually* helpful hint for someone else. ___________ (* Apologies for the overliteral translation from the French.) Ah, William Walton then? (seeing as that is not a Yo-Yo) Unless Vierne's first name began with V. Tommo |

311 - Rachmaninov - G minor piano trio
Top job, auto. And may I say what a marvellous work this is? Thanks Sergei. Tommo You may. But the big D minor is far superior! Superior? Yes. Far Superior? Not so sure. But let's not split hairs Tommo I'm doubtless biased since it was my passport into Rachmaninov - in the stonking performance by Kogan, Luganov + Svetlanov. In fact it's the only performance I've heard. |

Martle, you really ought to know what 315 is though.

(seeing as that is not a Yo-Yo) We understand that it is a yo-yo - a two-handed yo-yo of an Oriental and superior kind, but a yo-yo nonetheless. Were it not a yo-yo the main point of our clue would be lost. Members are right to have "latched on" to the element of alliteration, but there is more to the yo-yo side of the clue than mere alliteration. For if Members repeat the word " yo-yo" to themselves over and over again for something like fifteen minutes they will find that the composer's name itself arises spontaneously in their minds! |

Richard, listening to it again it's on the tip of my pointy ears; but I can't get it. This competition is making me go bananas!  |

Is No.301 Henze's Piano Concerto No.2?
NOBODY expects Henze's Second Piano Concerto!!! Yes it is (written for Christoph Eschenbach). Arg. I had mistaken the word 'for' for the word 'by'... I take it that his third concerto is Tristan. Thank goodness it wasn't that. I would be kicking myself from here to, well, somewhere else. |

The device is a diabolo.  |

Martle, remember what I said about two composers (although most of what you hear in this snatch is by one of them... the other's contributions are normally announced by the entry of a particular instrument... )

I don't have any Berio in my collection, but had mentally 'logged' this recording because of the Brahms clarinet sonata transcription, so it wasn't too difficult, following Richard's clue, to track it down! |

See, IGI, that's why you're a brilliant teacher and why I'm just a humble professor. Makes perfect sense!  |
