Clue to Puzzle 184...
Since more than 10 hours have now elapsed since setting no. 184, here is a clue: it is the introduction to a very well-known English anthem often sung at State occasions. It cuts off at the point where the choir would sing its first chord.

I know that I'm probably just flogging a dead horse here but since you haven't directly answered this one yet... |

Well, what more can I say, by way of a clue, re. Puzzle 159? It has been established that it is the work of a leading American "ultramodernist" who sacrificed her own career as a composer to dedicate herself to supporting her husband in his own musical endeavours which were not in the same genre. She is probably best known today for much the same type of work as Samuel Barber is, i.e. an arrangement for larger ensemble of a single movement form a chamber work.
It's Ruth Crawford Seeger then... 9 preludes (1928)? Ruth Crawford, indeed. Now, which of the Preludes? I must demand this since I gave a very clear clue as to its identity very early in the proceedings. Number 3 (Semplice). |

A further clue to the elusive 168...the composer died within the past two years.
Am a bit embarrassed not to have got this sooner: it's the second movement ( Allegro vivace) of György Ligeti's Concert Românesc (1951). |

No Tommo, it is not the third of his Dance Pieces, though it does bear a similar title, (I take it you refer to "In The Upper Room"). |

Second clue for puzzle 174: count the violas!
Second clue for puzzle 178: the name of the composer (from the States of America remember) of this symphony begins with 'R'.

In that case for 174 may we suggest the Mozart G minor quintet? |
