Nothing ventured, etc., although this will probably plunge me deeply enough into the abyss that I'll be sharing Richard's snorkel.

Puzzle 7: Haydn Symphony 95, C minor?

If it's Wagner and castanets, it must be Tannhäuser, no?

Please Sir,  Me Sir, Please, I got it was Wagner first, so can you prevail upon that nice Mr. Grew not to dock me excessive points? <syncophantic emoticom>

Also btw SG, how do you know that my answer was incorrect since I was suggesting it for any of the unsolved puzzles. I believe you're assuming that I'm not taking this competition seriously.

Alas no. I've revealed the answer on the discussion thread by popular demand: it is indeed Haydn and in C minor but the symphony is no. 52. (Now I was surprised to read someone say it didn't sound like Haydn because to me it sounds exactly like Haydn. But not really like the Haydn of symphonies 90-odd, no...)
