442 - Score has a typical appearance for a score from this country. One of the composers I've set most frequently. Big clue in the instrumentation
444 - This would have been much easier if you'd got it when I posted it, as at the time the composer was the subject of a thread here. Same goes for 452 and 454. A composer with links to Strauss, some of whose works are evidently meant to refer to Strauss's (e.g. to Till Eulenspiegel and Heldenleben)
445 - Obviously, from the manuscript. Handwriting is a giveaway. One of his lesser-known pieces, but for years the fanfares it features prominently were used as signals on the radio station of his nearest large city.
446 - An early and comparatively extensive work by a figure of massive importance to 20th century music.
447 - This composer helped me (over the phone) to decide which university and college to attend, and is an alumnus. The title of this piece borrows from Couperin
448 - Panufnik, as Maciek guessed. I'm surprised he hasn't got further. The piece's structure is strongly suggested by its title.
449 - A very popular composer who has been here many times (not Szymanowksi, Maciek), this admittedly rather anonymous peroration comes from one of his slightly lesser known symphonies (though it's still one most of us know)
450 - The nearest to opera that this master ever wrote.
451 - One of the most famous composers of all time. And he's also the composer of another of these remaining pieces, mark you.
452 - Another whose composer was the subject of a thread at the time. Well known for his piano music, but also for his harp music, he died in the town where Debussy was born, too fat to reach the keyboard of his piano.
453 - The subject of a more recent thread; a composer better-known for more death-haunted works
454 - Again, he was the subject of a thread at the time. Look at/listen to this piece with imagination and you'll see what type of music is being referred to. From there, this might be easier.
455 - A miniature masterpiece from a most unexpected source - one of those pieces which transcends its time and place, much like the poem it sets. The piece was recently used as the basis for a piece by Patrick Hawes (he's a Classic FM type composer..... say no more). Actually, his idea was rather nice, but the piece is pretty schlocky IMO.
456 - I can only think of one piece for this combination of instruments. NB The score layout is important
459 - Look around - this score was surrounded by lots of others by the same composer
460 - Ditto - orchestration is unique
461 - Ditto - orchestration is deliberately misleading: I missed off the most important instrument
462 - Ditto - say what you see
464 - Ditto - the threatening danger comes to fruition
465 - This is one of those major, landmark pieces that is mentioned all the time at GMG, particularly on the recordings board.  Composer is one of The Greats, and this is one of his greatest. Even though the notation is so shockingly vague!
467 - and Ditto to 459 again. Lovely Brahmsian density in the use of the main motive, isn't there? Brahms wrote pieces of this sort too.

- Holst, The Planets, Saturn

I saw the Bass-Flute in the instrumentation and glanced at everything else and knew it had to be from "The Planets."   0:)  Then sight-hearing the music showed the Saturn section.

Karl likes that Bass-Flute sound these days!   

[Cato]

Is #459 not the conclusion of Peripetie of the Five Pieces for Orchestra by Schoenberg?

[Cato]

Okay, and here is why I have resisted ever visiting this topic!

It is addictive!!!     

Put a warning label on it before the bureaucrats come down on you!   0:)

[sul G]

Yes it is!

And yes it is on the Schoenberg, too. It surprised me that no one got that one before now.

Karl likes that Bass-Flute sound these days!   

Yes, he does. So here's (a fairly obvious) one for him - a bass fruit and 8 taped brothers. Not many pieces for that combination, I suspect. Not with this handwriting and this level of complexity...

LO 469:

[karlhenning]

16, 17, 18

[karlhenning]

19, 20

(Just for tidiness.)

[Mark G. Simon]

Two of them are easy:

KH17: Sibelius Symphony no. 4, Scherzo.

KH20: Opening page of Brahms Horn Trio.

[karlhenning]

Two of them are easy:

KH17: Sibelius Symphony no. 4, Scherzo.

KH20: Opening page of Brahms Horn Trio.

Oui.

[Mark G. Simon]

I'm going to guess that KH18 is the String Quartet no. 7 by Shostakovich.

[karlhenning]

Good!

Hah! And timely.

[sul G]

Karl, why do you keep waiting till I go out to post new ones? 

16 - Bartok, quartet no 2
17, 18, Mark got in first
19 - Satie - Embryons dessechees. This is L'Holothurie, the sea cucumber one, I think, the infamous passage about a nightingale with toothache..
19, another one Mark got in first on - and I've been listening to this piece a lot this week, too

[karlhenning]

Karl, why do you keep waiting till I go out to post new ones? 

Nothing deliberate, honest!

16 - Bartok, quartet no 2

[ . . . ]

19 - Satie - Embryons dessechees. This is L'Holothurie, the sea cucumber one, I think, the infamous passage about a nightingale with toothache.

Oui, et oui.  I think neither of us surprised the other with the latter 

[sul G]

One can't have enough Satie, IMO. Unless, as Cage said, one eventually becomes Satieated.

[Mark G. Simon]

Karl's MScJ.JPG is the Tchaikovsky Serenade for Strings -- Waltz

[karlhenning]

That's a trope on Satie's own jest, Erit Satis, comme tu sais.

Karl's MScJ.JPG is the Tchaikovsky Serenade for Strings -- Waltz

Aye.

[karlhenning]

Probably all I can post before I return next week.

[Maciek]

Cato, you have no idea! This thread is a trap - save yourself while you still can! I hope for your sake that it's not too late...

[greg]

MSc15.ivC.JPG is obviously the Prokofiev Toccata...

longest time ever to actually recognize one...

[sul G]

That one had been got, unfortunately
