299 sounds to me like Martinu's Frescos of Piero della Francesca.

Correct!  One of the benefits of staying up longer than anyone else, Veronika - you get my easy snatches.  (Phnaar)

A first (cryptic) clue towards Puzzle No.274 (SendSpace or Rapidshare)

Be afraid! Be very afraid!

Time for a second clue - Mme Antheil and Mr Iron are right to go for a German composer, but it's not Orff, and are searching within the correct time frame, the choral piece concerned being composed in between Carmina Burana and Cartuli Carmina.

Here comes a third clue...Don't be surprised if ruthless efficiency gets you in the end!!  Wink

Evening all!

Is Mr Watson's 294 Cimarosa's Il Maestro di Cappella? Surely the final words are 'Basta! Basta!' = Enough! Enough!

You are right about the last two words, but otherwise wrong I regret to say, Mr I.

294 - well, the music is Mozart's Horn Concerto No.1 in D, K412 II. Rondo: Allegro. Not sure about the narration - could they be the annotations WAM made to the score?!

They are indeed the annotations that Mozart made to the score. Well done, IGI, I think that counts as a complete answer.

Another lot of clues then. Recall the previous ones:

Quote from: richard barrett on 12:12:21, 08-03-2008
282 is from an orchestral piece with two soloists, neither of whom are heard in this excerpt.

283 is from the early stages of a symphony to which a chorus is added later on.

286 is by a composer whose surname not only suggests a nationality other than the one he has, but actually something quite other than music altogether.

to which I now add:

282 was completed in 1974 and its composer was German.

283 was completed in 1923 and its composer was Russian.

286 was completed in 1975 and its composer is French.

Hurrah! I knew the music, but the rest was a bit of guesswork!

Now, Mr Barrett, is 283 Kabalevsky's 3rd Symphony, Requiem?

How about Myaskovsky's Symphony No.6 in E flat minor, op.23 which has a choral finish and appears to have been completed in 1923?

That is right. When one considers that its composer was both a contemporary of Mozart and a friar the uninhibited character of the work is quite startling. Perhaps it is one of those isolated works of genius like Sinding's Rustle of Spring or the Litolff Scherzo. One pictures him in his work-room one afternoon with all his pupils around him each of them urging him to add an even more audacious turn.
