Hurrah and Hurrah! We await Member Grew's verdict on our third attempt.

Seraphita also we have played. It emplys six clarinets, most of the time in unison.

We were also guilty of mis-typing Phillip Miechel's Christian name above. The correct number of ls and is is as here.

Here come some clues:
232 is actually the tail end of a vocal piece.
233 was written in 1946 in the USA.
234 is an early and drastically uncharacteristic work of its composer.

And three clues from us (you can find the links here):

214 was as mentioned composed by one of a family of symphonists - the said family, although active in Germany, seem to have originated a little further east.

221 is a Rondeau as opposed to a Ron Dough from the last of its composer's four books of pièces de clavecin and members suspecting a punning connection to David Cronenberg for the composer's name should be encouraged to pursue it.

225 is played here by its composer. It is a notated work!

Quite so. I've never thought of it as sounding like Janacek though.

Not the whole thing. Just that little section on the piano. No wonder I could not track it down. I have not had a recording of it since my old Supraphon LP got sold, along with many, many others, to help pay for a ticket to Dublin, back in the early '70s. Was that the Hogwood recording?

No, James Conlon. (It's one of my favourite Martinu pieces.)

And lest this post seem offtopic I give you Puzzle 247.

For 214, let's try J. Stamitz - Symphony in G ("Mannheim")

Another clue for 225 - we are puzzled to see no nibbles so far since the composer who is also the pianist is personally known to at least a few Members.
