Mr. Grew. We can all sometimes make a mistake. I cannot, in all earnestness, accept the 1000 points. Please allow me to retrun them to you, and beseech you to distribute them liberally to the deserving of this parish on the occasion of any such incident during our sport here which you feel is deserving of compensation, reward or downright charity, as you may see fit.

Time for a hint about Puzzle 27, as it's getting near reveal time! The language being spoken is Swedish, and the composer has also been the solution to two other recent puzzles. It isn't one of his better known works!  |

And we for one eagerly anticipate the unveiling early to-morrow of the pseudo-Paganini!
Ah yes....Puzzle 25. Perhaps the time has come to reveal that it's not a violin concerto, but from the operatic repertoire!  |

And by 'operatic' I don't mean an arrangement of melodies from an opera for violin and orchestra, but music from an actual opera! (Cue, Reiner....)

Well that's -20 for the Waxman guess then.  It does sound Rossini-like, but I don't know any Rossini Operas (unless I guess, of course...) Tommo |

Here is a clue to our puzzle 39. (We think it was 39.) It's a clue in that it features the same stratospheric singer in a much more familiar work which should lead some of you quickly to the correct answer.

Wow. At the risk of exposing an embarrassing ignorance of "a much more familiar work" I haven't a clue what piece that clue is, but it's divine! I can't wait to find out what it is (and probably that I have it in my record collection but just haven't been paying attention...  Is that piece by Zimmermann? |

No, it's not Zimmermann. Neither Robert Allen nor Bernd Alois nor Markus Antonius.  |

I was thinking of Bob when I wrote Robert... (But what, you're fine with Markus Antonius?) |

Nobody yet seems to have attempted to solve PUZZLE 32, and its time will be up tonight! So a little pointer is in order: this "Rumplestiltskin" (we hear) spun this piece at the age of 24. Baz http://r3ok.myforum365.com/index.php?topic=2508.msg89733#msg89733 |

Mr. Macrae's number 47 (actually it should be Puzzle 48 - the problem is with our own number 47 which was not very clearly marked in the message) is one of the best. The marvellous melody is so familiar - we seem to remember its coming at the end of some long saga of a symphonic poem - yet we have thus far considered Nedbal, Novak, Sibelius, Suk, Rachmaninoff, D'Indy, Diepenbroeck, Bridge, Chausson, even Schoenberg's Wood Dove, and nothing obvious has popped up! Perhaps it is Foerster - goes off to investigate.

Baz, the trouble is that if I open your puzzles at work, they get as far as downloading but then they crash my RealPlayer. I always forget to go back to them and try again when I'm at home. I'm going to try a different method, I think ... |
