NOBODY expects Henze's Second Piano Concerto!!! Yes it is (written for Christoph Eschenbach).

I have been punishing myself most cruelly about that one. Time for the cold bath and cilice.

315 is Berio/Schubert: Rendering, for orchestra,  Andante, Berio taking sketches Schubert made for his Symphony No. 10, and completing them by adding music derived from other Schubert works.

Ah! Mr Inquisitor has seen the significance of our yo-yo mantra. Perhaps the answer came to him in a dream, but anyway it is right; we would be interested to learn how he hit upon it. Grove tells us that "Jongen is remembered above all for his organ music, especially the Sonata Eroica and the Symphonie Concertante, which have become enduring works of the repertory." That is indeed so since the Belgian radio seems to broadcast the Symphonie at least once a week and certainly more often than Radio 3 broadcasts Ravel's la Valse, even. Grove does not inform us of its key; perhaps some one knows it.

Is Richard's 323 some unfamiliar bit of B.A. Zimmermann's trumpet concerto? Just thought I'd ask. (Or is the fact that it measures 666kB a clue?)

I'll have a wild fling at Xenakis's Jonchaies for 324 but I admit most of his orchestral stuff sounds pretty much the same to me.  Wink

A clue for 319...

This Scandinavian composer, born in 1941, is also a noted jazz trumpeter and record producer. This piece was written in 1997.

Could it then be Palle Mikkelborg's A Noone of the Night?

I'll have a stab at snatch 323: Birtwistle, Endless Parade? I'm sure that's wrong on second thoughts. But, hell.

Well hunted there! It is indeed Palle Mikkelborg's A Noone of Night - a lovely cycle of 7 poems set for Chorus and 2 harps - this being No. 4 ('Atter og atter' [Over and over], poem by R. M. Rilke).

I am particularly fond of No. 3 (a setting of Blake's poem The Fly), and you can listen to it HERE.

Be aware, however, that it does not end abruptly (as in this clip) but flows seamlessly into No. 4 (which was the original snatch no. 319).
