375 is Symphony no 11 by Joachim Raff. (Perhaps)

Is incorrect, I'm afraid, Mr Watson...

375 Raff Symphony No.10

(Sorry if I snitch that without listening)

No, sorry, Mr 1780; that is incorrect.

CLUETIME!

Puzzle 361: SS or RS

It was written as a tribute to the composer's birthplace.

Given the replies we have encountered so far, perhaps my second clue should be to request that you count the violins.

Mr 1780

Is 361 Sarasate's Navarra for two violins and orchestra?

Hurrah!  That's it.

Well done Mr Pop.

Mr 1780

Hurrah indeed. We searched an awful lot by Kreisler and Wienawski before arriving at Sarasate!

Quite possibly because he only wrote 11?

So let's try Raff, Symphony No.5 Leonora

Puzzle 375: SS or RS

Puzzle 376: SS or RS: Rachmaninov - Spring Cantata

Puzzle 377: SS or RS

Further clues - No.377 is a very early tone poem by an oft-used composer in this thread.

Re No.375, would Mr Watson care to expand on his response?

375 is not maybe but definitely Symphony no 8 by Joachim Raff, in A major, op 205 "Frühlingsklänge".

Yes, indeed, Mr Watson - Raff's Spring Symphony, No.8, the first of his 'four seasons' symphonies, as played by the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra under Hans Stadlmair:



It was from the second movement, 'In der Walpurgisnacht'.

Woohoo!

And now I'm on a roll, 377 is Spring Song by Sibelius.
