Plenty of setters; too few guessers! HERE or HERE is Puzzle 76.


76 is the coda to Beethoven's Symphony No.8

Next comes Puzzle 77; HERE or HERE.

That is Mahler's ninth Symphony.

Sorry Mr. Dish; it's not that!

And finally for to-day Puzzle 78: HERE and HERE.

We wonder which is really better as music; 77 or 78?


78 is Haydn Wood's Bird of love divine

Mr. Inquisitor is absolutely right, after one hour and one minute - while Mr. Dahm was very close! Mr. Inquisitor gains another 180 + (180 - 61) = 299 points.

Well, 74 would be Debussy's Golliwog's Cakewalk, I believe.

Not Debussy's Golliwog's Cakewalk, I'm afraid, Robert.
