That would be the end of the second movement of the Fourth Symphony by Comrade Shostakovich in an arrangement for two pianos.

That, Mr Barrett, is going to earn you an awful lot of points. It is in Shostakovich's own arrangement.

Celebrate away!

That, Mr Dish, sounds to me like the Scherzando from Hanns Eisler's Vierzehn Arten den Regen zu beschreiben op.70.

I don't know if Puzzle 49 has had any guesses (too lazyto check) but did anyone guess Magnus Lindberg?

Perhaps it's an excerpt from Joy for large orchestra (1990)? A wild guess is better than none, even if I lose some points.

No joy Mr. Dish it is not Joy. . . .

Correct! The excerpt comes from the end of the Finn Magnus Lindberg's Aura (In memoriam Witold Lutoslawski), first performed in Tokyo in 1994.

Two of our three clues should now be self-evident; the third refers to the fact that he together with Saariaho Salonen and others was in 1977 a founding Member of the society "Korvat Auki" ("Ears Open"), devoted to the study and performance of contemporary music neglected by established institutions. But now as we indicated at the outset he is one of the few modernists to have made indisputably it to the established repertoire.

Do not Members agree that the slow harmonies in our excerpt sound rather like Sibelius, and that for that matter many of Lindberg's fast scurrying passages recall many of Sibelius's fast scurrying passages - those in Tapiola for example?

180 points to Mr. Dish.

Here I g(l)o(at) -- please don't mistake me for a Lindberg expert, but that passage was entirely too 'indicative' to be by anyone else.

At first with the massed string sonorities I thought of Stockhausen's Trans, which I know only from descriptions (!), but then I didn't hear the shuttle that's supposed to ker-plunk every 20 seconds.

Do I have an aura now??

Sorry, I overlooked your message, sir, until now. But you are correct!

Ensemble Phorminx plays. (I believe this album contains a work by one R Barrett as well, but I think music by members is already sufficiently featured in this Game, no?)


You get an unpunished gloatie.
