Some clues: Puzzles 379 and 380 are by composers of the same nationality, though the composer of Puzzle 380 had adopted a different country as his home by the time he composed the work extracted here. Both puzzles also date from the same decade, and are of considerably older vintage than the Joan Rivers Tower piece mentioned by Mr Fragment. Still no takers?  Not even a wild guess? Mr Sudden? Mr Martle? Another clue is called for: No 380 was unless I am mistaken composed in a location more commonly associated with sport, although I doubt its composer was thinking of cricket balls when he named his symphony. No 379 has a title which would not have seemed strange to the composer of No 378 (solved by Mr Grew), except for a slight grammatical oddity. |

I reckon 401 is not 'pure' Elgar though...I think it could well be the Elgar 3rd Symphony as elaborated by Anthony Payne.

How interesting, Mr Martle. But wrong, I'm afraid. |

Sorry, but no. I would like to guess that 407 is Bruch's violin concerto number 2. |

It is time for some clues to our two puzzles from yesterday:
1. Puzzle 398, although it sounds rather amateurish, is in fact the work of one of the three or four most famous composers of the twentieth century.
2. Puzzle 399 is a symphony written by a man who in his life time was held to be the equal of Beethoven. Not only that, a good many of his opuses were published under the name "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart." And the present work was played at the same concert at which Beethoven's "Eroica" symphony was premiered; the Beethoven work was judged to be inferior!
