For 433 I'm going to try Berlioz's King Lear overture, so that I'm not off topic, but I've got doubts.
It sounds like Berlioz but a person is the link, you say. Desdemona somehow? Harriet Smithson?

433 is not Berlioz's King Lear, I'm afraid.

Oh dear, I'm about to make a proper guess at something at the risk of gaining some positive points. This'll never do. But I think puzzle 439 is from the last movement of Beethoven's 5th symphony. Can it really be that straighforward?

Ollie's neglected puzzle 394 sounds like a mock-tragic Polyphemus kind of character (the doubled recorder/violin sound is reminiscent of Acis and Galatea as well), but THIS IS NOT A GUESS as I know the piece pretty well and this snatch isn't from that work - the snatch isn't even in English (unless someone's pronunciation is exceptionally dodgy). So I think this qualifies as an off-topic comment, which ought to compensate for my other guess I guess...

It is pretty straightforward, but it's not Beethoven's 5th Symphony, I'm afraid. |

Hooray, fewer points!
Oops, that was off-topic, wasn't it.

A first clue for #430: I had little choice but to cut off the snatch where I did, as immediately thereafter the chorus intones the name of the work, which is based on an ancient text.
I can't seem to listen to this one. Is it Penderecki's Stabat Mater (1962) ? edited to add italics. |

Is correct! Mr Watson, your recent snatches appear confused - 440 is fine, but '441' does not open and '442', when it opens has a file labelled 441! Anticipating a correction later, I here present you all with another quickie.. Puzzle 443: SS or RS |

Is entirely correct, Mr Harp! Try this connected trio: Puzzle 433: SS or RSPuzzle 434: SS or RSPuzzle 435: SS or RS - solved by Mr Grew: Dvorak's Othello, op.93Time for a clue...the link between these three pieces is a person.  A clue towards 434: an English composer, who was Master of Music at Winchester College |

Correct, Dvorak's op.46, no.8 is the Slavonic Dance in the snatch. |
