50 is from a vocal score.

[karlhenning]

Immediately obvious: 24 - Dvorak New World, 26 - IS Histoire du Soldat, 32 - Berg Vln Concerto.

Yes;  some pieces, I wonder if any of the pages could not be a give-away : )

[(poco) Sforzando]

42 looks like Messiaen's Quatuor (minus the clarinet).

I'm not home so can't consult my scores to verify anything else yet.

31, you meant.

[karlhenning]

Yes, from the second movement, Vocalise, pour l'Ange qui annonce la fin du Temps.

[(poco) Sforzando]

Fixed in my original post. 50 is from IS's Requiem Canticles.

I knew you would bag that one, as well!

[(poco) Sforzando]

48 looks like one of those Copland piano thingies - Fantasy, Variations, Sonata - I can never keep 'em straight.

[karlhenning]

Yes, though we should settle which : )

[(poco) Sforzando]

Yes, though we should settle which : )

Will have to wait until this evening when I'm home.

[(poco) Sforzando]

I'm guessing 45 as the D major fugue from Shosty's op. 87 - a work I don't know really well.

There I've misled you; but Shostakovich's set was the example for the actual composer.

[karlhenning]

Whenever I listen to 36, I smile . . . can't be many pieces where it's the third trumpet who's allowed to shine a bit.

[karlhenning]

Takes a certain kind of voice to sing that ascending gesture at the start of 44 and stay reasonably true to the composer's marking of ppp.

(Some of these scores are in my possession thanks to a neighbor's generosity . . . not that there's any pressure . . . .)

[karlhenning]

34 is not actually as antique as it may seem; it's designedly an allusion to the past.

[Guido]

No.30 is very odd in that the vocal parts are put in the middle of the string parts... hmmm........

[karlhenning]

Good eye, Guido!

[karlhenning]

37 is a reduction

And the fellow who prepared the reduction is famous in his own right.

[Luke]

Damn - looks like I missed all the fun. I see Sfz's bagged some already (ones I would have got) and so I've only scanned up to 37 and I want to get it before anyone else does, if they havne't already - it's from Gurrelieder, the part where Waldemar's men sink back to rest.

edit - hang on, looking closer, it might not be....
