Yes it is.

Now, your 369 - isn't it Haydn's Bear Symphony, No.82 Allegretto

Going for a more obvious answer, is No.371 Weber's Bassoon Concerto? (told you it was going to be an obvious stab, and probably wrong!)

Not just probably wrong, I'm afraid!

Or, imagining there could be a bear theme going on here, is 371 Fucik's The Bear With A Sore Head?!

Puzzle 344 is from a short work by an American composer known also as a conductor or modern music. One of his better known works consists of stolen property, and was performed and recorded under the direction of one Leonard Bernstein. The 'theft' was from Bach. The current work, as mentioned earlier, has a job-seeking allusion in the title.
That would be Lukas Foss's Curriculum Vitae Tango, commissioned by Yvar Mikhashoff.

And I'll take a punt on 370 being Coates' The Three Bears, phantasy for orchestra.

I thought the Fucik might have been less familiar. And it's a fairy-tale ending for you, Mr IGI, with the Three Bears. Correct on both counts.

Not only would it, it is. One of the many commissioned by Mikhashoff.

So could 353 be Ondine, the ballet with music by Hans Werner Henze?

Yes, Mr Watson, from the first of two suites Henze made after Undine's premiere in 1958. There's also an arrangement of the wedding music for winds.

Here is Puzzle 372. It is very short because it is very easy.

372 - sounds like Rossini's Barber of Seville Overture. It can't be that easy, can it? There's a catch, surely?
