All right, then, John Tavener's Thrinos?
Maybe I should go listen now...
391 is not Tavener's Thrinos, I'm afraid. Tavener's The Repentant Thief, then. |

391 is not Tavener's Thrinos, I'm afraid. Tavener's The Repentant Thief, then. That's the correct answer, Mr Johnson, as played by Andrew Marriner on a Collins CD. |

A 405 clue:
This one was not inspired by a Stephen Crane poem, but that's an easy mistake to make.
Nor was it inspired by a poem about a bubble. That came a few decades later.

This is correct, but now I don't know whom to give the points to. As I'm not as pedantic as ahinton, the prize should go to Evan. |

(1898) Yes indeed, Mr Fragment (apologies for the typo re the date). The Chansons et Danses (the snatch being the Danses) is a lovely piece scored for flute, oboe, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons and horn, played here by Ensemble Fidelio. |
