So as not be ruled off topic, we'll have another pop at 260: Pastoral by Bliss.
Not Bliss - not very...wet. A further clue towards 260 then: our composer is not so well known as his offspring!  15511 + 75 = 15586 |

And a further clue towards 247: it is, as previously clued, a violin concerto but its accompaniment, rather than being for symphony orchestra, is scored for the following instruments: 2 piccolos, Eb, Bb and bass clarinets, 2 bassoons and contrabassoon, cornet, trombone, tuba, percussion and four each of violas, cellos and basses.
5246+75=5321

We think we're allowed to post another two: Puzzle 269Puzzle 2705504 + 20 for the last guess we had (Bliss Pastoral) + 200 for these two = 5724. |

247: Coulod it be Kurt Weill's Concerto for Violin and Wind Orchestra, Op.12?
15586 + 20 = 15606

247: Not quite, Mr I, there being, as mentioned, twelve string instruments in the ensemble. You're heading in the right direction though.

Hurrah!
269 - I did wonder about Spohr or Crusell, but will have a shot at Carl Stamitz instead - Clarinet Concerto No. 10 in B flat major?
15626 + 350 for the Warlock = 15976 + 20 for this guess = 15996

247 is, I think., from Weill's second symphony.

It is, as previous clues have stated, from the first movement of a concerto for violin and a rather strangely-constituted chamber orchestra, written at some time in the 1920s. It isn't Weill's concerto for violin and winds, and indeed I can reveal that it isn't anything else by Weill either. I suppose it must be my strangely warped musical "education", but I thought this was a fairly well-known (if not very often performed) piece... ... it won't happen again... |

I'm stumped too, although whatever it is it's very wonderful, on the basis of Mr Barrett's snatch, and I'd like to have it.
5 + -2300 = -2225

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? Unfortunately it is not that! |

For once, Mr I, you're wrong! |

Another wild guess at 247. How about Werner Egk''s concerto for violin and chamber orchestra of 1928?

By Egk! No, it's by a far more well-known composer than that. |
