I believe that Mr Macrae's no.51 is from Il ritorno di Ulisse in patria by Martin Butler.

Nope. Definitely not a chamber work...more...'operatic'! |

No no no, Ollie. It's 'Gosh! I let out the dogs...' by Martino Butleriano (1798-1802). |

Correct! Except the composer's full name was Claudio Butler-verdi. I know you're after the Alan Davies award here so I'll leave points decisions up to the Chairperson. I think a bonus for wit may be in order. (It's Monteverdi BTW, in case anyone's not in on the joke!) |

Right, I'm going to have a stab at Mr. Inquisitor's fiendish Puzzle 35:
On thinking of an opera that could be described as 'operatic' and has an ensmble including piano, all I could come up with is Richard Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos
I'm off to count the loose change behind the sofa now...

Not Ariadne auf Naxos, Stuart, but it's the best answer so far...

One of the R Strauss Piano Melodramas google so helpfully informs me exist? Das Schloss am Meer? (Or are they just Piano alone, with no wind.....?)

COUPERIN LES IDÉES HEUREUSES!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness. That took me days of listening to various clavecinistes and barking up the Forqueray and Duphly trees for far too long. Not that that wasn't extremely pleasant but I was wondering if I would ever find the damn thing.
That's an answer to C Dish's harpsichord one. Number 40.

No joy there, Tommo. Stuart's response was the best because it was the first one which suggested an operatic work. |

Blimey, that took you long enough. There are quite a few pieces by other composers similar to (ie. emulating) it, although to my knowledge none of these is by Martin Butler (though I may be wrong about that). |

This sounds very French to me, Baz, but I can't pin it down to any of the usual suspects. (mmm, possibility of it being English too!)PUZZLE 32 - SOLUTION The extract was from Korngold's Piano Quintet Op. 15 (1921), Movt 3 Baz |
