Let's try Litolff, Concerto Symphonique No 5 in C minor, Op. 123

(And if it's not it either jolly well should be, or one of the others!)

Before passing judgement on this we would like clarification on the question of whether "No 5 . . . or one of the others" is intended to signify 5 answers in all, or just one this time (No 5), or perhaps 4 answers (bearing in mind that one of the Concerti is lost forever). And if more than one answer was intended, in what order would the Member prefer us to take them?

Apologies for the ambiguity (not intended). Please take my 'answer' to be No. 5 (as stated) - notwithstanding that it may well be one of the others.

The link for Puzzle 110 gives the same music as for 109. So I'm tempted to say that 110 is also the 2nd movt from Mozart 40, but I don't suppose that's in the spirit of the game.

I don't know what happened there - sorry - but it is now fixed and gives the correct snatch!

Let it be noted that Mozart's D minor quartet has been around twice - it was the subject of puzzle 3 HERE and indeed a Mr. Sudden there was our very first solver. Not that there is any impediment to its coming up again; somehow despite the defects of his counterpoint Mozart remains such a summit does not he.

I couldn't get the snatches to play during the time of puzzle 3. I've only recently worked it out. Next thing is to work out how to record and upload items.

What an extraordinary claim Mr Grew. Please enlighten us all by explaining the specific nature of these (as you say) 'defects'. We should like to understand them, and to see exactly where you think Mozart 'went wrong'. Thanks.

That will be good Mr. Watson. There is a rather elegant description from Mr. Baziron somewhere about how he does it - perhaps he will be so good as to provide a link to that. Is there a "freeware" programme which could be recommended to questioning members? We ourselves use a) dBpoweramp Audio CD Input to copy tracks from a CD onto a hard disc - this is "shareware" we think, but then b) we use Samplitude to snip out the extracts, and this is for a number of reasons unsuitable for general use - it is not "free" for a start. Many people appear to use and recommend Audacity for this job.

I'm just off to bed now - but I'll post something when I wake up in the morning. (And I'll also take a look to see what else has been happening around the world while London sleeps.)

Mr. Baz, if I am remembering this rightly, snatch 109 is the 2nd movt from Mozart 40.

It is indeed Mr Daniel - well done.

Baz

Thankyou Mr. Baz, you're very kind.

(Do you get your clothes from the same shop as IGI?)

I'm afraid not - while he gets his from the Vatican suppliers, I have always obtained mine from the local charity shop! (There we don't have to ask each other any questions.)

I'll send Tony a PM sometime later today with more info, but the only recording software I ever use is entirely Freeware and readily available for download.

I always edit the snatches with the system-supplied file SNDREC32 (Sound Recorder) which PC users should already have on their machines. This only supports .wav files however.

The program I use for recording the source files is the freeware program Audiograbber - this can record any sound source (CD, LP, Minidisc, microphone etc) which is then automatically saved to disc when the input is completed. It can be saved as either .mp3 or .wav, but saving as .wav is needed for editing the required snatch afterwards with SNDREC32.

Occasionally I have forgotten to set SNDREC32 to the required bit rate (44,100 Hz in 16-bit stereo) that Audiograbber needs for conversion back to .mp3 (SNDREC32 seems annoyingly to come up with a default setting of 22,050 Hz in 8-bit mono), and I have then had to use another Freeware program called CDex to do the conversion. But CDex then fails, having converted properly, to change the extension from .wav to .mp3 (although the file still plays correctly). The simple answer I have found is to create a new template file for SNDREC32, with the correct bit-rate settings, and then Open the required audio .wav file (made with Audiograbber) from within SNDREC32. That way only the two programs are needed.

Anyway, with Audiograbber and (the already-supplied) SNDREC32 I find it simple to record and edit snatches that can then be uploaded directly to sendspace or rapidshare (among others).

I am rather surprised that nobody has yet attempted Puzzle 104. I thought it a rather well known work among at least some participants here.

And what of 114? Surely there is at least one oboist here who can identiify the work and its composer?

I quite like the oboe piece, I'm searching.....
