265 = Jacques Ibert's Trois pièces brèves III. Assez lent
14819 + 20 = 14839
For reply 1617: yes correct again after 3 mins! |

Hurrah! The Ibert is one of those pieces in which you cannot help but grin!  New tally: 14839 + 357 = 15196 |

Three hints here may help:
266 comes from a Cantata;
267 is the work of a Frenchman from the year before his expiry;
268 is a twentieth-century passacaglia.
4610 + (3 * 75) = 4835

Not only is 247 by the same composer as either 232 or 234 (which surely isn't very hard to work out), I can also reveal that it is the first movement of a violin concerto, in which however the soloist does not appear at all.
Come on, people, it's a giveaway!

I'm not so sure, Mr Barrett! I'll dip in a toe, however, and go for Henze's Violin Concerto No.2 for puzzle 247. 20 points for a wild guess = 15216 |

I'm not so sure, Mr Barrett! I'll dip in a toe, however, and go for Henze's Violin Concerto No.2 for puzzle 247. 20 points for a wild guess = 15216 Thank you very much Mr Inquisitor. However the work in question was composed almost fifty years before Henze's second concerto, and, I need hardly add, by another composer entirely. I thought the fact that 247 and either 232 or 234 are by the same composer might be a useful clue. It's true that many composers of the earlier 20th century turned from a "postromantic" to a "neoclassical" style, but in this case the composer is far better known for the latter than for the former. |

A clue towards Puzzle 260: Here and here...an English composer and a potentially wet piece!  15216 + 75 for a first clue = 15291 |

I'm in a devil-may-care mood so I'll guess 260 is Finzi's Five Bagatelles.
20 more points = 5413.

Sorry, Mr Watson, it's none of the Finzi Five Bagatelles.
I shall hazard a guess at Mr Grew's No.266 - is it Bach's Cantata No. 210, O holder Tag, erwünschte Zeit, BWV 210 ?
15291 + 20 = 15311

Is 263 Frederick Corder's Corder's Prospero?
15311 + 20 = 15331

Yes it is! I'll work out the scoring later this evening as I've got to read the rules about it again! |

Hurrah! As just over 22 hours and 45 minutes have elapsed since Mr Watson posted the puzzle, we believe he is due 91 bonus points. We ourselves pocket 180 for solving it, in no small thanks to his clue!
15331 + 180 = 15511

5413 + 91 = 5504. Thanks for that, Mr I. We can what a task it is for Mr Grew.
So as not be ruled off topic, we'll have another pop at 260: Pastoral by Bliss.
