Puzzle 63 is HERE or HERE. This one should be very easy, an opportunity for the quick solver to pick up a good number of bonus points, but do remember that a full and unambiguous identification is needed!

Mr. Inquisitor is quite correct; he solved it in only 9 minutes, which solution is a most profitable exercise in that it gives him an additional 180 + (180 - 9) = 351 points!

Hurrah! Apologies for the two Chopins...Fred got over-excited when I pasted his name in twice, and I would hate to edit a message... Smiley

Yes, it's the Dance of the Spirits from the Purcell Tempest music.

Ok, buoyed by a new and unfamiliar feeling of success, I find after a bit of a google that Sir Arthur Sullivan wrote some incidental music for the Tempest. Might that be no.57?

He did, but it's not.

Ok, well the Tempest list is quite long - Tippett, Sterndale Bennet, Berkeley...

I'll have a shot at Tippett.

Nope. I think Stuart sort of established the composer some time ago...

Ah! So this isn't the British composer. In that case, Sibelius!

Oh well, never mind. I'll have another think. Although I see martle is already thinking pretty damn fast ....

Thanks for the light showering of happiness and points though. Now I can clamber clumsily up from the lip of the abyss in the red, and occupy my true home, in a position of mediocrity at the bottom of the pile of big earners.
