Ah, so I shall go for Bartok's 2nd quartet.

523 sounds as though it could only be Schoenberg but which one? We shall try the Third Quartet.

Nor that not really!


And I shall go or Schoenberg's 4th quartet

Tommo

Bartok's second quartet is . . . incorrect.

But Schoenberg's fourth is absolutely right and the Member receives 800 points. The extract is from the first movement, what some might call the second subject.


Whoo hoo - I knew the Bartok was a silly guess, but I was fairly convinced it was Schoenberg 4 (All the same, thanks for eliminating no.3, ollie)

As a celebration, here is the third image you get if you google schoenberg quartet party

Ahem...

So 517 must be Krein's Esquisses Hebraïques: Quintet for Clarinet and Strings

Sorry Tony, I don't know how I missed this post.

Indeed - it is Alexander Krein's Jewish Sketches.  From a CD involving Member Powell, by the way.

530 - Varese Ecuatorial

Sorry but both of these are only half right, meaning that they are both incorrect!!!

Clue for puzzle 519, which some Members thought was Bartok: it is by a well-known member of the Second Viennese School.

Clue for puzzle 520 - one word should suffice: DANTE.

Clue for puzzle 522: it is one of a set of variations by a famous Russian pianist.

Indeed so! Sixteen hundred points go to Mr. Autoharp - probably a record for a single message under the revised scoring rules.

Sorry no; the composer is much more popular than Balakiereff.

Well let us try Tchaikovsky, Symphonic Fantasy after Dante, Op. 32 then.

522 is about Variation 7 or 8 from Rachmaninov's rather lovely Variations on a Theme of Chopin Op.22.

Correct! although we know it as Francesca da Rimini. It was written a year before the Fourth Symphony, and our excerpt is one of the quieter passages since the rapid ones with their chromatic runs are very characteristic and too easily recognizable.

Yes that is right, and congratulations on solving a rather difficult puzzle.
