There are still 400 easy we would think points awaiting the solver of puzzle 519. We have said that its composer was a member of the Second Viennese School - let us now add the information that he was the tallest!

Correct - that's one of the easy ones gone!

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

Yes that is right ...


Thankyou.
 
Perhaps you may not know this, but Rachmaninov was not the only pianist/composer to take the C minor Chopin prelude as his muse when composing. 72 years after he had written his piece this happened.

Do not watch it! It may have properties akin to those of the dust of 1908.

I notice that a large amount of stellar dust seems to have settled on the maestro's pullover.

Is 519 Berg's String Quartet no 3?

We are sure that the Member meant to write "opus no. 3" and did not intend some mythical skipping over Berg's "first and second" quartets and so in the circumstances we find ourselves able to award him four hundred points for a correct answer.

It has been one of the surprises of this Test to find that not many people know this interesting work, which dates from 1910. Do Members find when listening to it that the composer's concentration lapses even more frequently than their own? To put it bluntly, the quartet is not nearly as good as the tremendous pianoforte sonata opus 1 of 1908!

Puzzle 533 in SS or RS


Time for some clues....

532 must have been played loads last year, given the fascination for birth anniversaries....

533's composer caused some problems on this thread before....

400 of our finest points to Mr Iron.  532 is indeed Elgar's violin sonata, in a recording by Vengerov.

Here are two more, to keep Mr. Thompson's company. First the start of a strange but in a way good and certainly different forty-minute Czech symphony for continuous soprano with orchestra, puzzle 534: here or here. And next puzzle 535, a sextet by a Frenchman, who seems here to be attempting to out-Paganini Paganini: here or here.
