Having listened to no.171 I realise that attributing it to John Field was rather foolish. It sounds to me more like it might be by J C Bach.

It does? Well I suppose the composer did fall under the influence of Johann Christian, but no, it is not the work of J.C. himself.

Perhaps it is then one of the early clavier concertos by Mr Mozart of Salzburg.

Or perhaps it is not? Indeed, it is not. Having just done a little checking re. the composer in question, and the name Bach, I find the only composer of that name to be associated with him on the first Internet biography of his I consulted, was PDQ Bach, but do not let that throw you off the scent. Concentrate on the principal performer if you are having trouble with the composer.

So Puzzle 145 must then be Primož Ramovš - Per aspera ad astra, completed 1991.

People are perhaps stuck so here are three new ones, all mainstream repertoire, and not too difficult:

HERE or HERE is puzzle 172;

HERE or HERE puzzle 173;

while HERE or HERE is puzzle 174!

Puzzle 173 is one of the 33 Variations, on a Waltz by Diabelli, prepared by Ludwig van Beethoven.

I should say that 172 is the opening of Bach's St. John Passion.

Variation 27, Viviace, to be precise.

[Oops! "Viviace" is not exactly precise, is it? Let's try "Vivace".]

Exactly Mr. Iron. That first number is we think the supreme work of Western music. It has just as many minor seconds as anything of Webern but it is not nearly so jerky.

The Member is absolutely right. It is an excellent performance we think, which captures the spirit of the music; given by a clearly very well trained Russian lady, Tatyana Nicolayewa by name:

Indeed, a pianist best known, perhaps, for her performances of the Preludes and Fugues in all the keys by here good friend and mentor DD Shostakovich, and of those by his precursor in such projects, JS Bach.
