Syd, Just so we are clear, will you be deducting 75 points from your score for this: One worthwhile thing that has come out of this exercise is the discovery that the line of division between positive recognition and mere familiarity (Mr. Garnett's categories C and B laid out here) does not lie precisely where we had hitherto thought it to lie. The reason for the obviousness of several of our snatches is that we wish to explore and fix this newly discovered division. ? However, I must sincerely thank you for doing Rapidshare. When I get home I have at least a chance of listening to it. And I know Delius Cello Concerto, so I will be a tad narked if auto happens to be right with one of his guesses and I just haven't been able to listen to the snatch. Tommo |

Now corrected, and apologies to all concerned; we must have been bedazzled by the sheer erudition on display in replies 77 78 and 79. However, as George edited his own answer, presumably to add the extra info re Pettersson, he may well be docked 75 points and his answer ignored, so Members may still claim the prize....although I doubt anyone here would wish to behave in such a dastardly manner! We all pass through life feeling our way do we not . . . |

Just so we are clear, will you be deducting 75 points from your score for this: [...] Not really; that case is covered by this is it not? If the burden of a message shows it to be one of the five permitted types (in this case the setting of a new puzzle) an unlimited quantity of vapour may be superadded thereto. |

Wild guess, dear boy, wild guess. (I can't hear IGI's 16 either). We're all going to be a tad narked at some stage when some undeserving opportunist reaps the rewards for identifying one of our favourites . . . |

Many thanks IGI. I won't be making an attempt!

Perhaps I'll need to offer some clues near the closing time for the puzzle. I certainly think it's an interesting piece worth and made quite an impression on me when I first heard it.
Only Ron has had a stab at Puzzle 11, after which I offered a small clue: As well as 'ask the audience', then perhaps you should 'phone a friend' for good measure!
I'd add that it's an early work of a very well known composer in a style far removed from his later stuff!

I've not had much time to download snatches till today, and now to my frustration I can't seem to play either Stuart's No 16 or his No 20 - especially frustrating since I'd hope to be in with more of a chance guessing a MacRae snatch than most of the Baz snatches, which I can pin down to a period or sometimes to a composer (the Bach cantata excerpt for instance) but not more precisely than that.

That's my problem too, tinsky. I can download some, but not others (for example, IGI's). I get error messages on too many of them. Any helpful advice out there?

Martle, it seems that some people have problems downloading from SendSpace, so I've started posting them as Rapidshare files as well. I had problems downloading Baz's which seemed to want to open in RealPlayer and came up with error messages. I got round the problem by clicking on 'Save' rather than 'Open' and then importing the file into iTunes. This could be worth a try.

Yes, it was the error messages in RealPlayer that I was getting.
Having said that, Baz's No 18 opened straight into Windows Media Player (for no apparent reason: all the others used RealPlayer), and played immediately and perfectly.

I haven't had any of these problems. Sendspace gives the option of saving to disk or playing the file with a default program. If the latter throws up errors on individual machines, why not choose the former? Once the file has been saved, is it not then possible simply to open it from within whichever media player has been loaded on a particular machine?
