535 - String sextet by D'Indy?

Quite right Mr. Autoharp! It dates from 1927, and those unusual sounds come from the second movement.

We do not know whether that has continuous soprano; but no, sorry, it is not that in any case.

For 533 - I would have said Novak: Eternal Longing (even though the second word has seven letters).

Sorry, No

The title of the cryptic clue refers just to a movement.  The movement is from a Suite with a dual geographical title.

Well let's try Novak: Moravian Suite ('At Church') then.

Not quite right, but certainly good enough for 400 points.  It is indeed Novak's Op.32, which I know as the Moravian-Slovak Suite.  The movement I was thinking of was 'Amorous Couple".

A clue for puzzle 534: this forty-minute symphony contains as we have said a prominent soprano part from beginning to end. There is no text; it is a wordless affair, but she is always there. The symphony has a name which draws attention to and emphasizes its consequent dramatic character. Its composer studied counterpoint with Haba (who is so shamefully seldom played these days!) as well as instrumentation with the earlier suggested Schulhoff. He was also one of the pioneers of electronic music in Czechoslovakia, and we have had him once already in this competition.

Well that would be Miloslav Kabeláč: Symphony No. 5 in B flat minor, "Dramatic", for soprano without text, and orchestra, op. 41 (1960), would not it?

That is correct and the Member gains four hundred points. This soprano is an unusual idea but seems quite effective in a way, which is not of course to say that we would wish every symphonist to incorporate a vocalise from beginning to end.

Having said that (that symphonies with sopranos are so unusual) we seem over the past few days to be encountering nothing but symphonies with sopranos; specifically Alfven's Fourth, "From the Outskirts of the Archipelago", with soprano and tenor double vocalise, which dates from 1919, and Nystroem's Third, "Sinfonia del Mare", again with soprano, from 1948 - both it will be noted from well before the Kabeláč.
