Hurrah!

In fact my CD of it calls it Fonderie d'acier... One of those pieces more talked about than listened to, I think. But I'm amused to note that it stuck in my head enough for me to spot it even though I've only heard it once! Well, twice now. You can perhaps imagine my glee as I popped the CD on having already posted, to hear I'd actually got it right...  Grin

From reply 1436

Another three for you to try.

Puzzle 227 - call it 230

Puzzle 228 - call it 231

Puzzle 229

The last one will is hardly mainstream repertoire, I think.

I thought 229 would be the hardest. Perhaps it is mainstream after all. Yes, Mr Sudden, you're right - it's otherwise known by its Russian name of Zavod.

And, Mr Inquisitor, you're right too for 227 (now 230). Was there already a 227? I did try to check!

Perhaps 228 will hold out a little longer.

Edit - I've tried to give them new numbers to avoid confusion. Things move so fast it's hard to keep up.


228/now 231 is Mussorgsky's Scherzo In B Flat.

It has been noted that I have been somewhat lax in entering snatches, so:

Here is Puzzle 235. Either the title, and the names of the composers, or the title and the composers' collective name will be deemed acceptable.

Puzzle 233 is, off the top of my head, so may be wide of the mark, Janacek's Concertino.

Oh dear, 232 is tempting me to make a proper guess.

Is it true that guesses (made in good faith) now garner positive points?  I didn't manage to read through every page of this thread that evolved while I was away.

Hmmm,

Could it be Bmmffff Lips sealed
