You may now celebrate!  Wink

Mr Inquisitor, that sort of thing is beneath us!

But since you invite us so nicely...

Tinners, surely Sibelius symph 2 - the peroration?

Is Puzzle 43 Sibelius's 2nd Symphony? (Interesting recording...who's conducting?!)

Ooh, pipped to the post, IGI!

Well done, green'un. It is the build-up to the peroration (I carefully omitted the tonic chord in an evidently vain attempt to make it sound like a piece of 1970s minimalism), conducted by none other than

Drat! Segerstam's performance sounds unlike any Sibelius 2 I've heard before!

Let's try Tommo's No.29...could it possibly be Leo Tolstoy's waltz?

AndyD - sorry, Puzzle 29 was my first one and I saved it as a different format.  I'll redo it as an MP3 when I get back to home base.

I hope THIS is the right type of file for an mp3 version of Puzzle 29.

Any guesses?

Tommo

OK - let's be really preposterous! Is Puzzle 29 (by any chance) a composition by Tolstoy (!), sometimes known as Tolstoy's Waltz?

Blimey, that's one even I could have got - if I hadn't been downstairs watching Batman take on the Bookworm. It is one of my favourite symphonies after all.

Who's that one by then, Andy? Wink

OK guys ('n' gals, when they've all come out of hiding Cheesy), get your teeth into Puzzle 44.

IGI and Baz, nul points.  Sorry.

Someone on this forum does know this, because they have commented on one of my postings in 'Now Spinning'.

(There aren't many, btw)

Mr. Now, I'm going to guess that Puzzle 44 is Mr. Barrett's 'Transmission'. But of course I could be wrong, as in so many things.

Mr Martle, you are having what is known in polite circles as a "good evening" (especially after your ex gratia award on Another Thread).

I trust the other Members are Green with Envy.

Pardon my absent-mindedness for having posted this on the wrong thread altogether, regarding, er, Puzzle 25 I think it was:

Assuming it is a violin concerto at all, I see that the list doesn't contain

Barber
Coleridge-Taylor
Corigliano
Finzi
Glass
Glazunov
Joachim
Hubay
Korngold
Lalo
Nielsen
Patterson
Rozsa
Saint-Saens
Ysaye

all of whom wrote violin concertos I haven't heard (possibly one for New Musical Connections - oops - offtopic!). Some of them seem unlikely candidates but let these be my next 15 guesses.

And now we are told it may not even be a violin concerto at all! Excuse me while I compile a list of all the composers who have written compositions I haven't heard. I may be gone some time.
