OH RATS!!  I knew it was FVZ, I played it again just before I left work at 5.00 and now I have returned  home, ready to post the answer and find Member Barrett has beaten me to it  Angry

I was concentrating too  hard on the Indian aspect

Oh DOUBLE RATS!!!  I have posted on the wrong thread and from being 100 points up this morning I will now only be 5 points up (one off topic and one wrong answer)

Madame evidently forgets that she having correctly solved puzzle 73 is entitled to one "message of triumph." But in this case her loss is at the same time her gain. We take the quoted message to be her joyful utterance and she cannot possibly be docked any points for it.

On the other hand there have been several recent instances of message modification by members suggesting solutions. Let us make quite clear that strictly speaking such modification violates the rules and will lead to the discounting of an otherwise correct solution. We are often lenient with new participants but a continuance of such indulgence cannot be relied upon.

Mr Dish has asked me to inform Members that his Puzzle 62 was Sextuor - l'Origine des Espèces by Georges Aperghis.

Presumably this was one of Mr Dish's parting jokes, and being actually one of his own compositions, the title is partly anagrammatic? Perhaps we should understand it really as being "Origin of the Species: Sex Tour geographies regs".

There seem to be many possibilities. Greediness loss piece? Spiegeleisen crossed?

Indeed it is, Mr Iron. Congratulations!

I always find it interesting that the 1st Trio from the Clarinet Quintet doesn't actually feature the clarinet! My copy of the score (Peters Edition) has a clarinet part added 'to give the soloist interest in rehearsal'!!

Mmm! "Interest in rehearsal"? But what help would it actually BE to the rehearsal then we ask. I liked the string playing very much, and should like to know which group was playing. Thanks.

It was L'Archibudelli on Sony. The absent clarinet was played by Charles Neidich!  Smiley

Since PUZZLE 71 (unsolved) will expire in 2 days, I am giving some clues (hoping that by posting them on this thread I shall not be penalized - I'll take that chance!).

1) The piece was written for a particular Institution where the Wall Game would not be played for another 200+ years

2) The composition is a quasi-dramatic setting of a penitential text, delivered in alternation by 2 choirs (one large, one small)

3) I do not know where the composer is buried, therefore cannot tell you where he lies 'a-mouldering in the grave'

Important: Mr. Baziron appears to be labouring under a double misunderstanding. Firstly, puzzle 71 will not "expire in two days" - in fact it already expired at half past nine this morning! Remember when the time limit was reduced from two weeks to five days? However we shall in view of the evident misunderstanding this time exercise leniency and allow Mr. Baziron a further twelve hours to give out clues and hints before he loses his acculated time bonus points.

Secondly the main competition thread is NOT the place to discuss and give out hints and clues; as should by now be widely enough known the present discussion thread is designed for them. Mr. Baziron will for that reason be docked 75 points for his off-topic message!

Well excuse me Mr Headmaster! The rules have been modified so many times I had forgotten (due to creeping senility) that puzzles last now only for 5 days instead of a week. (Indeed, such is the level of senility that I can't even remember whether it ever was a week!)

By all means deduct 75 points for trying to be helpful on the wrong thread. But I think I have given more than enough clues for a person of reasonable intelligence to come up with the correct identification, and shall not be offering any further ones. Do you, by any chance, have any idea as to what it might be?

94 seems to be JS Bach's harpsichord concerto in G minor BWV 1058.
DAMN!



You gotta get up pretty early in the morning to best the Inquisitor. It's that comfy chair, and the cushions.

...(Sorry - Sendspace is out of action at present and we shall provide a link later. We did successfully upload it there as puzzle 95 only to find - there is always a slight fear that it will happen - that Mr. Iron had anticipated us with the number.)

A little clue towards Puzzle 80 - the composer is usually associated with the operatic repertory...

Number 95 sounds like a fine performance of the Fugue from Bach's D minor Prelude and Fugue BWV 539.


And no doubt you could also tell me from which work it is transcribed?

Continuing the theme - what's this then?...

PUZZLE 97

IRON

J.S.Bach - Cantata - Unser Mund sei voll Lachens (BWV 110), which uses material more familiar from the 3rd Orchestral Suite

I meant the 4th Suite, BWV 1069, of course!

Members may care to note in passing that Bach uses the "plural of modesty" as do we does not he.

We are having great difficulty with the very familiar melody of number 93, which we were sure was something of Rachmanninoff; but after going through practically everything he wrote (including many songs) we are beginning to think it must actually be Chaicoffsci.

. . . Bach's D minor Prelude and Fugue BWV 539.

And no doubt you could also tell me from which work it is transcribed?

Not without looking in the book . . . where we find "adapted from violin sonata BWV 1001" (the Sonata number 1 in G minor that is). But now you mention it a dim recollection of attempting it on our youthful fiddle does indeed arise! Quadruple stops in places - very forced artificial and ugly - there is too much compromise in all those things for solo violin and cello is not there?

Well Mr Grew - you must leave it to members to decide whether your own personal comparison with Bach's usage amounts to 'modesty' on your collective part(s).
