Wild punt on 413 - is it from Bach's Easter Oratorio? (a work we confess we do not know, and having gone through both the Passions unsuccessfully) |

Puzzle 413 is we think Mozart's String Quartet 19 in C, K465.

A first clue towards No.393: this work was premiered at the BBC Proms. And a second clue: this composer, from one of the Baltic states, was born in 1946. |

Is 415 Haydn’s String Quartet in E flat, op.64 no.6
416 – we detect something Czech/ Slavic here: Dvorak’s Symphony No.4?

And a second clue: this composer, from one of the Baltic states, was born in 1946. Number 393 is Vasks's 1998 Second Symphony we venture. (Strange he has not found his way into the latest - fifth - edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Music . . . ) |

The Vasks Second Symphony was premiered by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra under Yakov Kreizberg at the Proms in 1999. |

Entirely correct Mr Grew. I wanted to isolate only a "dissonant" bit, but sure enough everything resolved!! |

417 - possibly Prokofiev's Two Poems of K. Balmont for female chorus and orchestra?

Another possibility for 417 and it would certainly fall into the 'rarely performed' camp - Max Reger's 'The Nuns' Choir' op.112.

Hurrah! Now, would I be correct in thinking the three snatches 415-7 are connected, given the references to unmarried ladies and spinsters?! Puzzle 404 for your delight: SS or RSA first clue to No.404: this composer was once a student of César Franck. A second clue to No.404: this composer was born into an aristocratic family in 1951. |
