And that, we believe, is all current puzzles solved. Good. Back to work...whoops...meant to modify rather than quote... I know - this can count as my celebration for getting the Suk Ripening correct. Hurrah!!! |

448 - Scheherazade by Ravel. Yes, yes, yes! Not the song cycle, but Sheherazade, the Ouverture de feerie. So, the race is one for 446 and 447...  |

447 - I don't know much about Nielsen's life but I'm going to guess it's his Aladdin.
Correct again, Mr Watson! Nielsen's Aladdin contains some marvellous music - this was the Blackamoor's Dance, but I'd single out the remarkable Market in Isphahan where Nielsen layers up four independent melodies on top of each other to create a vivid soundscape. 446 could prove trickier to hunt down... |

All I can find is Cherubini's Ali Baba which it doesn't sound like but that's my official guess. |

459 is driving me nuts. I've heard it before but I know I don't have a recording of it. Let's try Liszt's Piano Concerto no 2.

Mr Watson, I believe 460 to be Rossini, overture to The Thieving Magpie. Hmm?
