Far be it from be to resist an open goal.
497 must be Tippett - Divertimento on Sellinger's Round.
Indeed it must Mr Sudden (And I'm still a little cross that you beat me to the Sonata for 4 horns by only one mouse click!). |

Puzzle 505, here and here, is a curious and amusing one with a very long name indeed. Bears a striking resemblance to P. Hindemith: Ouvertüre zum "Fliegenden Holländer", wie sie eine schlechte Kurkapelle morgens um 7 am Brunnen vom Blatt spielt. Quite right Mr. Sudden - an example of gentle German humour from 1925, one of Hindemith's many Parody Pieces. The players are a string quartet and the title being translated reads we think "The overture to the Flying Dutchman as sight-read by a bad spa orchestra at 7 a.m. in the morning." |

Puzzle 502: Procofieff's Violin Concerto 1 in D, dating from 1917, and giving us what must surely be one of the earliest[/] examples of the unfortunate Russian wrong note style. . . .

Puzzle 502: Procofieff's Violoncello Concerto 2 in E minor of 1951 (later renamed Sinfonia Concertante) which gives us a mature example of the unfortunate Russian wrong note style.

You are of course correct in your identification (well done Mr Grew!), but misplaced in your "wrong note style" idea: every note in this piece is indeed CORRECT, though you (personally) may not agree that they are all "necessarily in the right order"... As an example to demonstrate the relativity involved here... PLEASE CLICK ME. Baz |

Puzzle 511: we wonder who knows this scene, long ago snaffled from somewhere on the Internet. The sound quality leaves much to be desired and we advise Members to keep the volume low. Most of it is lyrical but at the end, which is where our extract comes from, every one gets very worked up. Here and here.

Some clues are in order, I think.
506 - This is the opening to a choral work. Listen to the music from about 30 seconds onwards. What sort of event do you think it is trying to describe?
509 - This is from a symphony that will be played at this year's Proms.
510 - It's not by Johann and the music is descriptive. What do you think it is trying to depict?
Sorry if the above reads like some worksheet produced for school pupils.

Hiawatha's Wedding it is! A piece that was very popular up until the second world war but which then fell out of favour somewhat, so perhaps I'm not surprised that it wasn't solved more quickly. |

509 is the signature tune from Panorama in the good old days Rachmaninov Symphony No 1?

Correct on both counts, Mr G. I wish I could give you bonus points for the Panorama reference but I know you're not it for the scoring.  |
