Correct and 100 points to Mr Opilec!   I was rather hoping someone would opt for the final movement of Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony as it shares the song 'In the field stands a birch tree' which features in the Balakirev too. Well spotted!

Being a little in profit, and with only 20 points docked for an incorrect response, I feel it's worth a gamble on Puzzle No.1. Is it Bernard van Dieren's Symphony No.1 'Chinese Symphony' by any chance?

No Mr. Inquisitor we regret to say it is not, and the composer is considerably better known at least we think. It having been about five days now "dead give-away" time has alas arrived: the symphony was written by one of Varèse's teachers . . . .

Correct Mr. Inquisitor, and in the nip of time. 100 points to you. We have long admired that mystic chord, but do not know what it is intended to represent.

Since that was the pilot puzzle we do not intend to take bonus points for it, but were we to do so we would have earned 96 per day or close to 500 in all.

HERE and HERE is Puzzle 17.

One worthwhile thing that has come out of this exercise is the discovery that the line of division between positive recognition and mere familiarity (Mr. Garnett's categories C and B laid out here) does not lie precisely where we had hitherto thought it to lie. The reason for the obviousness of several of our snatches is that we wish to explore and fix this newly discovered division.

Can't let you overtake me in the abyss stakes martle, tho I've got a lot to do to catch up with RB.

Is any of the unsolved puzzles The Last Rose of Summer arranged by Britten? That's purely a guess - I haven't actually listened to any of the snatches - but I might be lucky. Grin
