480 is Parry's Blest Pair of Sirens

I knew it was either something in my record collection I grew up with (Elgar was what came to mind), or something I have played often, accompanying choral societies.

This time Mr. Thompson is of course correct and has gained four hundred points.

Puzzle 485 has brought back painful youth orchestra memories - Ferdinand Grofé's Grand Canyon Suite, isn't it.  The goofy bit depicting the donkeys picking their way down the trail.

A final clutch of clues:

Puzzle 482 is the work of a well-known Russian composer with a double-barrelled name.

The composer of puzzle 483 came from Roumania coached Menuhin and married a princess.

Puzzle 484 is the last movement of a certain Frenchman's 1945 piano sonata.

487 is Debussy's Trio Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp

Tommo

It's surprising (to me) how much music is written for that ensemble but you are spot on in this case.

For 482 I'll try Rimsky-Korsakov's Antar.

And a clue for 486: stess, love, play, now.

For 484, how about Jolivet's Piano Sonata of 1945?

482 - Rimsky-Korsakov's Symphony no 3, then.

How about it indeed - quite right! (Rather thrilling to listen to is not it?)

And for 483, Enescu's Chamber Symphony.

And this one is right too - clearly we give good clues. The work is written for twelve instruents in 1954, so it is very late Enescu.

But no we have to say it is not his third symphony.

482 - it's on the same CD that has RK's 3rd Symphony.

It's Fairy Tale op 29 by Rimsky-Korsakov.

Indeed it is - and sometimes it is known as "Baba-Yaga" sometimes as "Legend" and sometimes as "Skazka." We called it seminal because of a particular kind of woodwind motif which we believe Rimsci-Corsacoff was the first to use here in 1880 and which had a great vogue among other composers - particularly Russian ones - over the course of the following thirty years.

Must return to the fray.

Puzzle 472


I think this is Walter Zimmermann's Zehn fränkische Tänze.

I am correct, Mr Fragment! Zero points to everyone!

Oh, but I think some credit to Mr Garnett for guessing the composer.
