A clue towards yesterday's No.193...a German composer with a familial link to Mozart.

193 is the ending to Weber's Symphony no 1. I thank you!

Yes, indeed, Tony. It's one of those pieces I have to thank TTN for introducing me to...I distinctly remember waking to that great coda, listening for the name of the piece and rushing downstairs to order online within minutes!

Puzzle 200 sounds like it could be from Lulu in the bit leading up to the moment where she gets bumped off, but it's so many years since I've heard it that this may well be rubbish.

Pure guess, but is 201 Kalevi Aho's Contrabassoon Concerto?

The instrument is not a contrabassoon and the composer is much better known!

Is it tuba? Vaughan Williams' Tuba Concerto?! (I feel a 'no' coming on!  Cheesy)

It's not a tuba either, although you're getting warmer. And the composer is somewhat earlier than RVW.

Let me add a further clue to No.179. The composer was born in Paris, but died in Algiers!

A third clue towards the composer of 179. Debussy quipped about him: "I have a horror of sentimentality, and I cannot forget that its name is *****."

Alas, that also it is not.

Is it Saint-Saens - Rondo Capriccioso?

For 179 I'll try Saint-Saens' Piano Concerto 2.
