Here is Puzzle 304

The composer, who died in 1977, and who wrote the pieces from which this puzzle is taken in 1954, is pictured below at the piano in a photograph taken in 1936 - there is a big clue to his identity for those who wish to find it there!

304 is Alexander Tcherepnin's Songs and Dances op.84 - the Kazakh Dance.

COR! You are both amazing and correct IGI.

Possibly I made the clues too easy, but since the work was never recorded until 1999 I thought it might not be that familiar. Well done Sir.

Hurrah! I see that BIS have recorded a few Tcherepnin discs - Piano Concertos/ Symphonies.

305 - a very short snatch, so I feel it's one we should all know. Prokofiev seems a possible candidate, so I'll plump for his Piano Concerto No.2.

On this occasion you have the wrong piece IGI - sorry.

Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.4 then?

Quote from: Il Grande Inquisitor on 23:07:10, 07-03-2008
Try Puzzle 281: SendSpace or Rapidshare

Time for a first clue to No.281. The composer was better known as a conductor.

I'll have a stab at 305. After all, it is the weekend.

Would this be Sullivan's 'The Martyr of Antioch'?

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

Be afraid! Be very afraid!

Quote from: Il Grande Inquisitor on 18:44:41, 07-03-2008
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

Time for an even bigger clue for 274! The composer was German, but in quite a different position to Orff in the Second World War. He died in 1975 and is probably most well known for a set of Paganini Variations for orchestra. It's/he's staring you in the face now...literally!  Cheesy

Well, it's Boris Blacher innit?

But since Uncle Sid ain't allowing me any more points on the board I'm not playing.
