Puzzle 475, HERE and HERE, comes from the very beginning of a work over an hour long. |

Grove describes the composer of this - puzzle 476 ( HERE and HERE) - as "German-Czech of Austrian birth," the Oxford Dictionary of Music as simply "Austrian," and Mr. Lebrecht's book has "born on the Polish-Czech border."

HERE and HERE is puzzle 474. The composer of the first half we hear is pretty plain but by whom is the rest? 474 - this is, of course, the last (incomplete) fugue from Bach's 'Art of Fugue', but continuing into the 'completion' created by Donald Francis Tovey. |

Member Iron is absolutely right there and gains over 800 points! (Incidentally we intend henceforth to update the points on the fly instead of three days later; so the numbers in the "Repertoire Records" thread will be adjusted quite soon, after we have finished uploading the current batch of puzzles.) |

476 - a piano sonata by Viktor Ullman? It is. Normally we should insist on the number but since we are feeling generous we shall dispense with the apparatus of hints and simply give the Member 400 points. It is in fact Ullmann's Fifth Sonata, opus 45, written in difficult war-time conditions. |

Puzzle 477 ( HERE and HERE) is extracted from one of the composer's best works - after he finished this it was down-hill all the way! |

Mr Grew, I do believe 477 to be the first of Schoztacovitzch's three Fantastic Dances - an early and juvenile if promising work in light of the glories to come.

HERE and HERE is puzzle 478, a difficult one written by a man on the fringe of the second Viennese school - if a school may be said to possess a fringe - "loosely associated with" would perhaps be preferable. Anyway he and Alban were great pals.

Puzzle 479 ( HERE and HERE) is a cheeky little movement which should be easy for our connoisseurs.

Mr. Iron wins again! But we wonder whether Bach's instruments really sounded like that. |

In fact some of us have wondered that ever since Goble constructed his first 'mechanised plucking instrument'. It is my experience - having played on a number of instruments surviving from the 18th c - that on the whole the tone was sweeter and less prone to sounding like (quoting Sir Thomas Beecham) "two cats copulating on a tin roof".

We expect several Members will know Puzzle 480 ( HERE and HERE); we apologize for the poor quality - it probably comes from "Listen Again". |
