Just came across this, and I could barely hear it, but I am positive
it is the "Blumine" movement by Mahler, which he dropped from his Symphony #1.

I love how I only mention Pfitzner blind (not knowing his orch works) because I know Sarge likes him ;D Cheating ftw.

Schmidt 4th?

I almost picked the trumpet theme from Schmidt's First actually...but no.

We have a winner. Congratulations, Cato! The clip was taken from a performance by James Judd and the Florida Philharmoniic

Wow I haven't heard that piece in along time!! :o

Well I have a feeling that Cato's puzzler will be challenging!

Is that how this works?!  :D   I never checked the rules!

Okay, I have an idea: but now I must discover how to place an excerpt online!

I've outlined a procedure on the first post, also you may also ask someone to do it for you.  That person obviously shouldn't be allowed to guess! :D  Also you can also just hand control over to someone else like Brian did. :)

Well, I have no recollection of ever having heard it before.  Generally sounds like a contemporary of early Beethoven.  One of those pieces that sounds awesome for 15 seconds or so, until you realize it is not going anywhere.   :P   Maybe Hummel, or whatnot?

Not sure that it sounds as late as Hummel - it sounds kind of like one of the Mannheim guys, or Vanhal - one of the busy-texture, scuttle-scuttle chaps, with a fine dose of drama as well. But then, it doesn't sound quite as chambery as I would expect from this period - although that may be the performance. The bit around ~28 doesn't sound all that inspiring, so I don't think it could be from anone like Haydn, Beethoven or Mozart. Man, I suck at this game ;D

Actually it sounds too late in style for Mannheim school, I think ;_:

Edit: I just realised. If Gurn is the only person who could guess this, then the next offering could be equally perplexing ;)

It's the finale of Étienne-Nicolas Méhul's (1763-1817) Third Symphony in C major. The boys from Ohio are on a roll  ;D

Sounds British to me, like Humphrey Searle...maybe his First Symphony?

A lot of that reminds me of Holmboe. I made several much worse guesses before this, but discounted them all. I'm sure this is wrong, but many moments of this gel with my memories of various symphonies by the chap. The more I listen, the more this feels too heart-on-sleeve, though :\

It isn't Searle but the mystery composer was probably influenced by Walton (the work was written about five years after the premiere of the Walton First).

Sorry, not Holmboe. But if he does sound like my composer I'll have to explore his music more thoroughly.

So many aspects of it chime as being right in the centre of the style of music I most enjoy, it's slightly perplexing - it'll be cool when somebody IDs it, as I suspect it will already be in my collection somewhere and I can give it a much-needed play ;)

The year you mention sounds dangerously close to one piece I had discounted, by a certain composer from Aldeburgh.

No...but...

No, I changed my mind. I won't give any hints yet. Too early in the game.

If you're not giving hints, there's Hubert Clifford's Symphony 1940 ...

Not Clifford. I said it was composed "about" five years after Walton because I didn't want to give an exact year of completion. Too easy to google that  ;D
