Well (for 494) what about Bach's Prelude in D major BWV925 then?

It's not a prelude.  Sad

Well, A, I'll go for Bach's Toccata in D Major BWV912. Is that correct Tony?

Yessss!!  Smiley   Cheesy   Grin

Here and here is puzzle 491: very much repertoire so what is it?

Puzzle 491: no one knows it! It is then our duty at this point to give a clue or two: it is a string quartet written when the composer was just twenty-six years of age. Indeed the beginning of this quartet was a puzzle here not long ago, and a clever Member solved that within a few minutes. But the present puzzle comes not from the beginning of the work but from the middle of a central movement. What more can we say? Well it is not by Haydn that is "for sure" but he is involved in a way. If some one solves it after this clue he or she will still win four hundred points.

Puzzle 491 we believe to be the second movement from Mozart's String Quartet K 428.

I have not been flooded with answers. Someone out there must know a solution.

Correct Mr. Watson! We hear Mozart here at his most daring and futuristical, so much so that the passage hardly any longer sounds particularly Mozartian even, but it is indeed his E flat string quartet K428 of 1783, the sixteenth, one of the so-called "Haydn quartets." Four hundred points to you, and apologies for the delay in responding.

Every one loves Dvorak's Serenade and Elgar's Introduction and Allegro. So here and here is puzzle 495, another popular work for string orchestra. Eight hundred points will go to whoever - we are careful not to write "whomever" - first identifies it.

As Mr Grew is aware, points excite us not in the least. However, we can hardly resist stabbing at 495: Bartok, Divertimento for Strings?

No sorry that is not it. By the way, it is marked "Gigue."

Is 495 the Gigue from Schoenberg's Suite in G for String Orchestra (1934)?

It is indeed - the great atonalist at the height of his powers, suddenly struck dumb upon arrival at Los Angeles: something in the air we suppose.
