314 - Poulenc's Organ Concerto?

Sorry it is not that one. It is if we are not mistaken a little less well known than the Poulenc.

A final stab at 314 for now: Marcel Dupré's Concerto in E minor op.31?

A reminder of my connected trio:

Here is Puzzle 288: SendSpace or Rapidshare

Here's Puzzle 306: SendSpace or Rapidshare

Puzzle 313: SendSpace or Rapidshare

306 is the opening to a song...

Is 306 Falla's Suite Populaire Espagnole?  (I only know it from the Kochanski transcription for violin, and it sounds very similar).

No it is not that one either.

All the languishing logs are still "on the track" to appear to-morrow, incidentally. We are keen to confirm Mr. Inquisitor's predicted speedy rise to 25,500 points!

Incorrect, I'm afraid.

A clue to Puzzle 317...

Its composer died on the island of Ischia.

317 must be William Walton then. How about his String Quartet in A minor?

Indeed it is IGI - the opening of Movt 4, which I selected because I felt that its rhythms and harmonies were particuarly 'Waltonesque' (though my clue may have made things a little too easy perhaps?).

Sounds a bit like the Mozart 39th symphony so I'll try that.

1815 + 180 + (180-21) = 2154

 Smiley Nice one Ollie - it's a little snip from the introduction to Movt 1.

Hurrah! We must admit that we prefer it a little quicker ourselves given its notation in 2 (how few performers take note of this! and how beautifully this binds the downward demisemiquaver rushes in the Adagio to the downward semiquaver rushes in the Allegro!)... Still, those suspensions are somehow immediately recognisable whatever the speed.  Smiley

I couldn't agree more with this - the recording used in the snip was Harnoncourt's  1992 recording with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. Even though some period style comes through in the playing, tempo is always a critical factor isn't it?

We note with some regret that during our absence no one was able to identify our Puzzle 253: Johann Friedrich Fasch's Overture in G minor FWV K:g2 (third movement: Jardiniers). And we felt so sure that at least one Member possessed a recording! (Il Fondamento led from the oboe by the estimable Paul Dombrecht.) Perhaps had we been able to proffer some clues things might have been different but we were not so neither were they...
