[(poco) Sforzando]

One of the above is tough, I think.

Last for now:

[lukeottevanger]

You always complain when I follow up a big lot of new scores with another one so soon! Not me, however.....

Unfortunately I only have couple of minutes free as I should be getting the kids ready to go to school again. So only time to do a couple

66 - Sullivan - Cox and Box?
67 - Bernstein - Candide
68 - Sondheim - A Little Night Music
72 - Falla - El retablo de Maese Pedro (one of my favourite Falla pieces!)
74 - feel like I should get this one... 
75 - Berlioz - La mort de Cleopatre

[lukeottevanger]

Do some proper looking later....

[J.Z. Herrenberg]

#74 is Beethoven's 'Ah perfido'... That's an easy one, of course!

[lukeottevanger]

I'm more than unsure of this as I can't really recall much about the piece, and I don't have a way of checking here at work, but just to get a guess in on no 62, is it the Dvorak G major Quintet?

[lukeottevanger]

No, it's not, is the answer you're looking for - that's not a two viola one; I think the extra instrument is a double bass, in fact.

[(poco) Sforzando]

No, it's not, is the answer you're looking for - that's not a two viola one; I think the extra instrument is a double bass, in fact.

Not a 2-viola one? Check the bracing.

All others identified so far are correct. But delighted to see you're having a bit of trouble with 62, and hopefully a few more.

[lukeottevanger]

I mean the Dvorak's not a two viola one. Which is why I discounted it.

[lukeottevanger]

But delighted to see you're having a bit of trouble with 62, and hopefully a few more.

Revelling in the trials of others  How unedifying  Did I mention, btw, that there are still plenty of mine remaining 

Going to be able to set about Sfz's new one a bit better in a few hours.

I believe I am blind!

[slaps forehead]69 = An American in Paris (Gershwin)

Obvious as soon as I looked at it properly.

[lukeottevanger]

I've obviously been concentrating on the tricky ones too much - another one that was easy as soon as I looked at it properly - no 65: Verdi String Quartet.

[lukeottevanger]

64 looks like Hindemith - I'm guessing Der Schwanendreher which is for reduced forces without upper strings as this piece appears to be. Also has a 'Sehr ruhig' second movement.

[lukeottevanger]

Yes, it is - just checked it.

[slaps forehead]69 = An American in Paris (Gershwin)

Ha-ha! that's what happens - you see something out of context and it doesn't come into focus right away. Three more correct identifications for Luke.

[lukeottevanger]

63 seems to be for the same forces as Chausson's Concert for Violin, String Quartet and Piano, and confusingly it even seems to share some motivic material with the last movement of that piece. But it doesn't look like Chausson at all, and what's more I'm listening to the piece unable to find any passages that match. So it probably isn't that one, but it's worth a go! 

[Mark G. Simon]

63 is Prokofiev's Overture on Hebrew Themes. The top line, which looks like another violin part, is actually a  clarinet. Prokofiev always notated his scores in concert pitch.

[(poco) Sforzando]

63 is Prokofiev's Overture on Hebrew Themes. The top line, which looks like another violin part, is actually a  clarinet. Prokofiev always notated his scores in concert pitch.

The low F at letter 34 should have poked a hole in the violin theory. Mark of course is correct.

[Mark G. Simon]

68 is from Sondheim's A Little Night Music. The "Soon/Later/Now" trio.

Luke already got that one, so "never mind..."
