456 - Petr Eben - Okna (windows)?

Ah! That's right too - and we thought it would be obscure . . . well done again.

Which just goes to show that one shouldn't be afraid to stab in the dark! (457's a hoot but I'm clueless there).

457 is The Stone Wall by Malcolm Williamson. That is a recording from the Last Nigth of the Proms, 1971.

Clues for the above!

Excellent Mr. Watson! You have solved another one we thought impossible. (Members will see the connection roof - windows - wall; but we searched in vain for something to do with doors.) It is good that you cite the Proms, because we happened to see in Grove that the work was one of Williamson's "cassations" - in other words "miniature concert operas with audience participation" - and we were thinking we might have strayed off topic. Apparently Williamson found that these cassations of his had an unexpected therapeutic effect upon the participating audience.

Good evening,

Puzzle 446: SendSpace and Rapidshare

Puzzle 447: SS and RS

Puzzle 448: SS and RS

Time to begin revealing clues for this musically connected trio, as nobody has 'tested the waters' yet:

No.446 - this was written by a French composer and conductor, who was director of the Paris Opéra orchestra for ten years.

No.447 - this composer was also a conductor and a violinist; he also learned how to play brass instruments, which led to a job as a bugler!

No.448 - this composer actually wrote two compositions with this title!

446 is not André Messager's Les deux pigeons, I'm afraid.

Following the clues nicely, auto, but it's not Sadko.

Hmm... using the same title more than once, eh? All I can think of is Images by Debussy, which I'm sure it's not but the 20 points will come in handy.

453 is by an English composer. 455 is a fugue, a movement from a larger work, by a Czech composer.

More clues:

The English composer has a very long surname and the Czech composer has a very short surname.

It's not Debussy's Images, Mr Watson.

More clues....a single very famous work by a Russian composer could hold the key here, especially as it shares a title with No.448.  Wink
