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

401 - surely Froissart? I think you're implying Elgar there, pw, so I'll give it you. Elgar's overture Froissart it is. And now a clue. 400 and 402 are overtures and there is a link, though 401 is not as direct as the others. |

401 - is this possibly Parry's Symphony no. 2 in F ('Cambridge')?
Sorry, but no. I would like to guess that 407 is Bruch's violin concerto number 2. Not Bruch I'm afraid. |

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!
I think 399 is the Symphony in E-flat by Anton Eberl. |

And 400 is Berlioz's Overture Waverley.

So, a guess at 402: is it Sullivan's Overture on Sir Walter Scott's Poem of Marmion? (there's certainly a Walter Scott link)

Or, a further guess at 402, Sullivan's Overture to Ivanhoe?

A first clue to No.391: this 1990 composition is rather appropriate for this week, I think, tomorrow especially. |

I think 399 is the Symphony in E-flat by Anton Eberl. Mr. Inquisitor is correct; it is Eberl's opus 33, and we apologize if it is no longer really repertoire. |

Yes it is. Sullivan: Marmion Overture. (There's no overture to Ivanhoe, just a few introductory bars.) But you are not correct about 400! |

A first clue towards No.393: this work was premiered at the BBC Proms. |

Rob Roy is the boy! Not one of Berlioz's best-known works, admittedly. I'd forgotten I had a recording of it until I found it lurking behind Harold in Italy the other day. And a Walter Scott theme it was. |

Another hurrah for Sir Walter! I don't know Rob Roy as it doesn't feature on any of my Berlioz Overtures CDs. Berlioz withdrew the score, I believe, so I assumed it would be Waverley (also based on Scott) instead.  |

Some clues for the above… 406 – the composer of this was a gifted pianist, and in the first performance of the work concerned she played the piano part. 407 – In rustling up a suitable clue, the first thing that springs to mind is the sad fact (in my opinion) that the composer is now remembered mostly for a single piece for solo piano that starts in the key of Bb Minor! 408 – This piece was written in 1952 by a composer who died in 1959.
