Well! Madame is within a whisker but is let down by the final digit. It may perhaps help if we say that the work was written in celebration of Berg's fiftieth birthday but poor old Berg did not arrive at his fifty-first.

As I believe Apostel only wrote two string quarters I presume it is No. 1 ?

It is indeed the first string quartet of Hans Erich Apostel, written in 1935. How sad it is to see such a truly great composer falling into neglect and obscurity!


Madame Antheil has won four hundred points for her correct answer.

It would appear our puzzle number 486 has died a natural death, according to the new rules. We therefore reveal it to be CHH Parry's Symphony no 5. We hope our mistyping the clue as stess rather than stress (which we have just noticed) did not cause confusion.

Puzzle 488: The extract HERE and HERE is from near the beginning of one of the greatest works of music ever written. Its first performance took place in Birmingham. What is it?

Very good Mr. Iron and very rapid too. The work lasts an hour and fifty minutes, and was it was in Birmingham on the ninth of October 1891 that it received its first performance. Now - we are thinking of introducing a new rule according to which each solver of one puzzle is obliged to submit two new puzzles of his own (according to the mathematical law of chain letters and rabbit reproduction). Do Members consider that a good plan?

489 - Sonata no 6 in G by JS Bach.

Nice to see this thread being revived. Must put up a couple of puzzles later today.

Unfortunately the description "Sonata no 6 in G by JS Bach" fits at least two pieces that immediately spring to mind. I think the description will need to be a little more exact (perhaps, though not necessarily, even with a BWV no.) for me to be happy to use the word "correct".

Here and here is puzzle 490; very modernistical. Almost every one will recognize the Style, but will any one know the Particularity?

A bit of a guess Mr Grew, but is it Messiaen's Chronochromie?
