Well done Mr. Inquisitor! It is The Oceanides by Sibelius!

I'm finding it a bit hard to keep up with this thread (and even harder to upload my own snatch, I'm afraid Cry) but would like to take a stab at Baz's Puzzle 36: is it something from Kodály's music for János Hary?

I'm afraid you are incorrect t-i-n (though I can see some affinity with your suggestion). But I'll give a clue...

While it was not the work of a composer born in 1882 and completed in 1930, it is the work of a no-less prolific composer born in 1949 that was completed in 1993.

The lack of attempts at number 24 is becoming hourly more astonishing to us! Mr. Martle's nibble was we may now say near indeed, but he did not return despite our invitation, and none other has yet emerged from among our host of erudite and cosmopolitan Members. Perhaps Members' memories may be stirred by a further excerpt from the work in question; it may be found HERE or HERE.

At the risk of prolonging the ignorance of Members such as I, may I suggest that PUZZLE 24 is taken from Beethoven's Quartet in D, Op. 18 no.3?

We regret having to inform the Member that he is in the same boat as Mr. Martle.

Probably clambering aboard the same boat, we believe Snatch 24 may be Beethoven's String Quartet Op 135, the second movement.

[Modified merely to change the typographical error of 'Snatch 2' to 'Snatch 24'. We hope we may forgiven with no or purely nominal penalty.]

With a slight divergence from Member Garnett, I must state that Puzzle 24 in fact comes from the 4th movement of Beethoven's string quartet Op 135 in F major.

P.S. The edit in my last message was to change the typo "rist" into the correct word "risk"

Baz


[edit] which I have just had to do again!!!

Congratulations Mr. Garnett, we always knew you were a man of moment. The puzzle itself comes from the fourth movement of Beethoven's sixteenth and last string quartet, written in 1826. When you think about it it must be must not it?

P.S. by "snatch 2" we always of course understood you to mean our hint - the second of our excerpts from the quartet, and we began this reply before your modification, which, had we seen it before we began, would have invalidated your answer, but now, seen only subsequently, has no bearing whatever upon the case!

Puzzle 36: most unlikely we know but is it Kalevi Aho's Eighth Symphony?

or (second guess) is it Christopher Rouse's Second Symphony? (he says he composes entirely in his head by the way)

or (third guess) is it Poul Ruders and his Zenith?

I do congratulate you Mr Grew - it is indeed Kalevi Aho's 8th Symphony(from Movt. 2: scherzo) - not an easy one. Well done!  Smiley

My first snatch (no. 41) is taken from a live concert recording I made. Here's another piece from the same concert:

http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/andyd.music2/AndyD2ndpuzzle.mp3

(puzzle 42 I believe)

I'd like to offer bonus points if you know the performers but I doubt that fits into SG's labyrinthine rulebook.

Mr Inquisitor, by a process of sleuthing and sheer genius, I venture to suggest that snatch 22 is none other than the slow movement of Mendelssohn's clarinet sonata, composed in his teenage years. Is not it so?

Yes, it is, Mr Martle - 100 points. The excerpt, correctly identified as being from the second movement, is taken from this lovely disc recorded on period instruments.

You may now celebrate!  Wink

Joy oh joy! I have finally managed, albeit with more time and effort expended than I care to admit, to make my snatch presentable for public consumption.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, please inspect at your leisure Puzzle 43!
