And this is Puzzle 327.
I'll have a guess at Monteverdi's Il ballo delle ingrate just to keep things moving even though a quick glance at the score doesn't yield anything encouraging...

331 is Delibes - the dolls's music from Coppelia.  Tongue

Mr Watson, may we hazard, for 310, Rozsa's 'Spellbound' Concerto of 1946, derived from the score to the Hitchcock film?

You may indeed hazard, Mr Martle, and you would be entirely correct!


Huzzah! I get a Tony award!

Even a close look at the score, unfortunately, will not yield the music of snatch 327, although your guess is entirely understandable and indeed not far off the so-called mark.

Given that 288 and 313 have already been identified, I would have thought that Puzzle No.306 (SendSpace or Rapidshare) would have 'gone' by now. Clues have already been posted about the composer's nationality (French) and the nature of the composition (song). As a further clue, I'll offer that it's the first song in a cycle of four...

I wonder if Mr Watson's latest trio have a link? Are they all by Leo Delibes? They certainly sound balletic.

I'd suggest that No.329 is La Source and No.330 is Sylvia.

Finished your marking then, Mr I?

Yes, you are correct on this one.

(Serves me right for not expecting the Spanish Inquisition.)

However, there is no theme and you are not correct on the other two.

Quiet here...

Puzzle 321: SendSpace or Rapidshare

Having listened to Puzzle 321 a number of times, I can only suggest that it is...

Marche 'Circularis' des Chevaux by that little-known early 20th-c Danish composer Hans Niesen Boompsidaisi.

CLUETIME

So what do we know about snippet 287?

Quote from: thompson1780 on 18:54:24, 09-03-2008
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).

And I can tell you that Member Grew's tortuous clues to 314 might lead you back in the right direction.

Puzzle 307?.... Well, the composer was close to the composer of Puzzle 322.  And about Puzzle 322?.... Well, let's just say that there's something fishy about it.

Yes!!

Although why I am so happy, I don't know.  That probably means you have lapped me for the 2nd time. Sad

A wild fling at the Schoenberg 2nd chamber symphony for 307 then.

Hurrah!

Is 307 Schoenberg's Variations for Orchestra?

Mr 1780 may wish to know we listened to the Rachmaninov Trio élégiaque No.1 in G minor on our way to work this morning!  Grin

 323 is the opening of Carter's Symphony of Three Orchestras I think.
