Bingo! Well done. I love that theme and I think Spohr is very good at having attractive tunes but I ended the clip just before he falls back on scales and arpeggios as fillers. The orchestra (in response to a message on the discussion thread) was the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra on a Naxos CD.

I was thinking as I posted: it's a theme in the first movement of either 3 or 4 but I'm danged if I can remember which. Those concertos really should be played more often than they are - especially 2 and 3 I reckon, both of which have fantastic slow movements... and really tricky finales. No one's done any but 1 on period instruments as far as I know. Pity.

I have a 12-key clarinet on order as it happens, and have asked for the low register F and Eb keys to be set up as they were on Hermstedt's instrument rather than as they're usually done on Grenser copies. Hermstedt's F key was for L3 and his Eb key for R1 (very important for the slow movement theme in the second Spohr concerto, for example, which moves legato from f' to e'b to c').

Rather like on this Backofen clarinet:



Er, I'll get me anorak.

Quite so Mr. Autoharp you have picked up on our clue. This is so far the only one of the three concerti to which we have carefully listened; it does not sound quite like anything of any other composer. We very much like the vague blurred effect at the beginning of the extract - that effect has been going on for several minutes already at that point; perhaps it is one of Medtner's trade-marks.

Our Nikolai does come up trumps with his elongated tonic pedals. At the risk of being repetitious, the 2nd concerto is the really excellent one, especially as performed by Abram Shatskes. And thanks, Sydney, for the pointer some time back about the Martinu piece of which I'd never previously heard.

Well and speedily done Mr. Baziron! But why does it sound like a rumba? We have long been puzzled by that question.

Now something for those fugally inclined: puzzle 153 (HERE and HERE).

I've always thought there would something of the "Edmundo Ross" about that piece! Re puzzle 153 - the jury's still out (but it's by someone much later than Bach - probably somebody like Reinberger or Reger - I'll take more time with this one).
