Puzzle 380: Silver Ladders by Joan Tower?
Completely wild guess based on the goad from the other thread that I for some reason ought to know this stuff. I have never heard the piece but heard about it.
I've never heard it either, so no, I'm afraid not. It was 379 that I thought you might get, but again, I may be wrong. |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

HERE and HERE is puzzle 384. It should be easy. HERE and HERE is puzzle 385, which some one may know straight off, but is likely to be a little obscure.

For reasons which are unclear to us no one has cared to venture a single nibble at puzzle 351, despite our generous clues. We know that: - the composer's name begins with "Sz"
- he was not Polish
- he died three months ago
- he created his own special kind of free serialism
- his Trasfigurazione for orchestra was written in 1972
- the present work was written two years later
- he never for one moment gave up his radicalism
And we have seen his face: All that should really be enough for good Googlers we might think. But let us give just one more clue, gleaned from the pages of Norman Lebrecht: this composer was a pupil of Petrassi, and the present work was constructed from a fragment of Petrassi's Concerto per archi. |

384 - Brahms Capriccio in B minor, Op. 76 no. 2 Quite right Mr. Iron; it is one of his most delightful creations. |

Stravinsky, Four Etudes, op. 7 Sorry no it is not that. Norman Lebrecht says of this work that it is "highly tuneful" and uses "imaginative serialism." |

No.356, we believe, is from Telemann's Suite in E-flat major "La Lyra", the third movement titled La Vielle.

Puzzle 375: SS or RSPuzzle 376: SS or RSPuzzle 377: SS or RSLots of guesses so far for No.376, although none of them correct so far. It is another of my 'musical connection' trios and I'd offer a first clue to the first piece, which is a movement from a symphony...  |

HERE and HERE is puzzle 384. It should be easy. HERE and HERE is puzzle 385, which some one may know straight off, but is likely to be a little obscure. Detecting a latent thematic connection with 384, let's have a stab at 385... 385 - Is it Poulenc's Capriccio for Two Pianos? |

Mr. Iron has been reading too many messages from Mr. Inquisitor! No no connection is intended; nor was Poulenc as far as we know ever a serialist. The composer of this extract - which requires only a single pianoforte - was born in the Southern Hemisphere. |
