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.


Thank you Mr Grew - I imagine he probably travelled via New York, and (upon seeing for the first time the Statue of Liberty) suddenly came upon the brilliant idea of "the emancipation of the consonance". (I understand that the US can sometimes have strange effects upon the psyche.)

Three cheers for me! It's a piece I only have on LP and not CD and so one I haven't heard for some time.

Here are Puzzles 497, 498, and 499

Some clues...

497 - the composer, who died in 1998, showed in this piece a fondness for the keyboard music of Byrd.

498 - the composer was born 100 years before Mozart' birth, and died 100 years before Schubert's death. The piece came from a collection dating from 1717.

499 - the composer died only 3 years after Mozart was born, and this movt. comes from his Op. 5.

501 reminds me oddly of Byrd's Ave verum corpus.

(That is indeed an official guess.)

Whereas 504 is from the slow movement from the Shostakovich cello concerto no. 1.
