17 - Schumann 2nd symphony?
Correct Mr. Autoharp; it is we think one of Schumann's most inspired moments. The rapidity of your response after a mere fifty-five minutes indicates that this work should be filed under "positive recognition" rather than "familiar." You receive 100 points plus a speed bonus of 45! |

Baz, you've really got me stumped with puzzle 18. Of course I'm stumped by all the others as well, but I feel like I should know that one! So I raise you: PUZZLE 20 |

Sorry Mr. Dish, that is incorrect! A valiant guess though. (The piece in question was written quite a bit earlier than Cage's dabblings in the belly of the piano...)

 Congratulations and 100 points to Mr Martle!  I thought that one might have foxed people for a good deal longer! I think I first heard Ash on R3 some 10-15 years ago and am surprised that it doesn't seem to make appearances in concert programmes. I think it would make an ideal concert opener. |

Is it Messiaen's Couleurs de la Cité céleste? (Syd, my bank manager, is happy to dock a few quid for being wrong.) Baz |

Bad luck Baz, it isn't, although it does sound rather colourful and celestial  |

One notes that Mr Grew himself has until now only ventured one single attempt at answering any of the puzzles.
