Mr Watson's No.427, as opposed to the one posted earlier(!) is the second movement Divertissement from Poulenc's Sextet.

Oh dear. My fault. It can be hard trailing through all the messages and answers to find the latest numbered puzzle. I've renumbered 427 as 431.

May I suggest the minuetto from Beethoven's Wind Quintet for Tony's puzzle 429?

Sorry, no.

Is 429 Mozart's Serenade K361 Gran Partita?

Not that either.

Mr Watson's No.427, as opposed to the one posted earlier(!) is the second movement Divertissement from Poulenc's Sextet.

Yes! Let's call it the answer to 431.

I'm getting confused but I hope that has taken care of it. I spent quite some time trying to log on as the board seemed to be going very slowly.

Given that Mr Waton's 427 was posted with a repeated number, now renamed 431, we will assume we are correct in naming this snippet...

Puzzle 432: SS or RS

On yours marks...

415 - Mozart's Quintet K 593?

Mr. Watson is of course perfectly right, it is Mozart's String Quintet number 5 in D major, K 593. (All our "no-o-os" above were just intended to indicate our amazement at the neglect of this piece of prime repertoire in favour of Michael Haydn!)

429 - Beethoven's Octet in E Flat For Two Oboes, Two Clarinets, Two Horns And Two Bassoons, Op. 103?

Yes!

So, is 428 Spohr's Septet in A minor?

Yes again!

I had intended to make it 6, 7, 8, but I misread the puzzles set.  Embarrassed

426 - this of course is Haydn's quartet in  D, Op 50, no. 6 ('The Frog'), movt. 4

Is correct, Mr Iron!  Smiley

427 - this is a guitar arrangement of one of the many Anonymous settings of Greensleeves that appear in English 16th-17th-c Lute books.

Is incorrect, Mr Iron!   Sad

I fear I may have missed your ingenuity again Mr Inquisitor! Since 426 is the "Frog quartet', can it possibly be that...

427 - is Dowland's "Frog Galliard"?

(Even if it is, it still has a strain of Greensleeves in it!)

A double hurrah! I had worked out that your sequences of chamber works was intended to go sextet, septet, octet and indeed used it to try and identify the Spohr Septet in A, with its rather unusual instrumentation.

The Beethoven Octet was also awkward to identify, convinced as we were that it was one of Mozart’s woodwind compositions.
