Corrected link to Puzzle 118. Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.

We would draw the Member's attention to Rule 5, which indicates (admittedly not very clearly) that no member is permitted to have outstanding more than three unsolved puzzles at any one time. (All the latest Rules may be viewed in the first message of this thread.)

Since the Member is a new participant and we do not wish to be a wet blanket we shall on this occasion permit puzzle 118 to stand, but we would ask him to keep the limit in mind in the future.

Perhaps the Member will give a few more hints? We thought of Zimmermann's Symphony for one of his contributions, but then decided it could not be that. It will be interesting to learn what number 116 is!

Hints are often given, and no, I have posted no links to anything by Robert Zimmerman(n), nor any other composer of a similar family name. Significant clues were given re. puzzle 116. Another is that Oliver Messiaen claimed that the composer was an influence on his own work. A further one is that it is said the movement was openly declared by its composer to be popcorn.


[Yes, far too many errors crying out of correction, though none which might lead to an incorrect identification of the composer or work concerned.]

Oh yes, Puzzle 104. These puzzles fly by so quickly that I either miss them altogether or post the answer only to find myself standing behind a bloke in a big red cassock. I'm sure I've missed a few obvious ones along the way. But since Mr Bryn mentions it, puzzle 104 reminds me vaguely of Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed of Brooklyn, NY, of which unfortunately I have no copy to check against.

In reply to Mr Bryn on the Discussion thread, yes I do claim that Puzzle 104 is taken from
METAL MACHINE MUSIC
AN ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTAL COMPOSITION * THE AMINE ß RING
* dextrorotory components
synthesis of
sympathomimetic music

Will that do?

Spot on richard. I know I requested that you restrain yourself, but I did not mean to the extent you did. Wink

Puzzle 117 is surely the opening chorus to Bach's Cantata BWV 101, Nimm von uns, Herr, du Treuer Gott (1724). The tempo is a little more deliberate than that to which we are used, but it is undoubtedly mighty music.

Excellent work again Mr. Opilec! We do not think we are even to-day quite ready for Bach at his most futuristic.

This is quite CORRECT Tony! It is indeed the very opening of Movt 1 (Andante). Thanks.

Well John hovered around 114 on the discussions thread, without daring to take a stand on which of three pieces it was, but nobody has got near 116 or 118 yet. DO please try. Clues enough have been offered for 116, but 118 has a somewhat obscure Wagnerian connection.

Prompted by Mr. Bryn's laments ("without daring" - "DO please try") and realizing now that the sheer having attempted will outweigh any falling short we have decided to make further Adjustments to the Rules. Each attempted solution, even if it is erroneous, will henceforth attract 20 positive points, not minus 20 as has hitherto been the case. In order to deter frivolity a second attempted solution to any one puzzle within one hour of a first will attract 10 points, and subsequent attempts at the same puzzle within one hour of a first will attract minus 20 points.

These adjustments will take effect from the time of this message.

Incidentally we would remind Mr. Bryn that his message as quoted, not being one of the six standard message types, properly belongs here and not in the competition thread.


No-one tried probing my snatches!

Puzzle 114,

I'd like to suggest it's from Howard Skempton's 'Three pieces for solo oboe', the No 1
