197 is Herbert Howells' Elegy for Solo Viola, String Quartet and String Orchestra - Quasi Lento, Teneramente
Marks to Mr Inquisitor! One of my favourite snatches of all time. Go on, Celebrate! Mr 1780 Hurrah!! Let me add a further clue to No.179. The composer was born in Paris, but died in Algiers! |

Well that would make him George Rochberg, so let's guess at Symphony No.2 Sorry but it's not that. erm, Symphony No.1? Or are you telling us it's not Rochberg? Mr 1780 |

Mr Sudden's 187 would appear to be the chorale from J.S.Bach's Cantata BWV 90 Es reißet euch ein schrecklich Ende.

Excellent work as ever from our Member Inquisitor!
Some read the verb in the title as reifet but we know not here the whies and wherefores. That in no way detracts from the solution.
Now that cadence is quite something is not it? It arrives on the flattened or flatted as they would put it across the pond tonic. Even seen as the flattened submediant of the relative major this is indeed a vertiginous leap. We know of nothing quite as drastic as this in the whole of Bach although who can lay claim to knowing the whole of Bach? Certainly not us.

(And according to the Rules a proposed solution consists of a composer name plus the name of a work, and the setter may in this thread say only yes or no to the proposed solution, not split it into bits. In other words, the extract is not from "Rochberg's Second Symphony" and it is not from "Rochberg's First Symphony" and more than that we are not permitted to say or tell!) |

I think you know what tends to happen under these circumstances  I propose Dance no. 1. I feel that under these circumstances chivalry demands that we wait until Madame Antheil has had an opportunity to weigh in since the snatch in question was almost snatched from under her nose. |

Oh come on you guys, this is all very sweet of you but just because I instantly knew it was Glass Dance 3 (I think Michael Reisman on keyboards?) proves I should stay chained to the puter in case someone (Bryn!) posts something I know in a second rather than go down the Rat & Carrot on a Friday night  And now I am playing the darned thing again! |

Puzzle 196 is from the second movement (Allegro moderato) of Smetana's String Quartet No. 2 in D minor.

I don't know the work, but I suspect 200 is Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle.

Alas Member 1780 judging from your previous post that makes at least two works which you do not know.
(In other words: no it isn't.)
