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!!  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!  Can't remember (or work out) when it was written, but I'll suggest Boris Blacher ' Tr-Ume Vom Tod Und Vom Leben. (And I'd clocked Blacher well before Anty prompted us all!) |

274 - then is it Blacher's Der Großinquisitor (which, in view of the person setting the puzzle, would be very apposite!)? |

Indeed, Mr Iron, No.274 is Blacher's Der Großinquisitor, an oratorio for baritone, chorus and orchestra, written in 1942 as a response to being banned by the Nazis and placed on their register of Jews in music. A powerful piece...not a lot of laughs, it must be said. And I didn't have to get the thumbscrews out....just!  |

Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.4 then? Time for a first clue to No.281. The composer was better known as a conductor. A second clue: the composer was Ukrainian. |

For 305 I keep thinking Bartok - perhaps Piano Concerto No.2?

A clue for 287....
On the recording from which this snippett was taken, the composer was conducting (although I grant you he might not have been doing much during this actual snippett).

You are correct. It's that wonderful flourish that introduces the third movt of Bartok's PC no. 2. Well done Tommo. Baz |
