But surely 335 isn't the same composer's Third Symphony?? Perhaps it is though...

No.346 is I believe from Scriabin's Tenth Sonata for piano.

Sorry no that is not it.

It is most certainly a piece by Scriabin though. The Eighth Sonata perhaps?

No, no, 335 is the seventh of the twelve Contredances for orchestra (WoO 14).

Anxious as I am to get on with setting new Puzzles, I hereby offer yet more clues.

Puzzle 325 as Baz has established is by Marc-Antoine Charpentier. It is one of his few works unconnected with either church or stage.

Puzzle 327 is not only concerned with opening a book but with tuning an instrument.

Puzzle 333 as we know is in a language used in only two musical compositions which have any currency, of which this is by some distance the lesser-known one. Its use otherwise is exclusively ecclesiastical.

I shall take another guess of the Ninth Sonata of Scriabin for no.346.

Wild stab a Puzzle 327 without first listening to it, Stravinsky's Soldier's Tale?

No, no, 335 is the seventh of the twelve Contredances for orchestra (WoO 14).

A correct and excellent answer including as it does even the somewhat philosophical opus number not an opus number. We are not in a position to confirm the "seventh" in the member's response, seeing that in our own recording it comes second, and that the performers of these things frequently feel themselves for some reason entitled to juggle the order around; fortunately for all perhaps the sequence number was not part of the puzzle.

Well a little, though only a little celebration. Beethoven certainly did use that theme rather a lot.

Sadly, no celebration is due for my hopelessly wide of the mark guess at 327, to which I have now listened. That's what comes fro wild guesses based on posted clues. Sad

Of course no.346 must be the Seventh Sonata then.

Puzzle 346 presents a clip form Scriabin's 7th sonata for pianoforte, (I am right in thinking that a correct answer requires both the name of the work and that of the composer, am I not?).

Is not puzzle 342 the First String Quartet of Bernard Hélène Joseph van Dieren? He wrote one in each of the years 1912, 1917, 1919, 1923, 1928, and 1931 you know.

Correct (though it is not at all clear that it forms part of the member's repertoire). What a supreme masterpiece it is!

I permit myself a small celebration here, and seek to mitigate my trial-and-error method of finding the true answer on the grounds of my always having regarded Sonatas 7-10 as being almost four movements of a single work, so separate are they from the preceding sonatas and so (Mr Grew would have to admit without compromising his own admiration for presumably all four of these works) seemingly connected to one another.
