Symphony 29 by Havergal Brian is that what it was? I know it ain't Mozart

So post another clip already!  ;D

No, my clip is still out there - those Brian clips by Hattoff were just for me...

Right, yours is that one with piano, blues-tinged piece. By the way, there is a tag still visible on it for "blues"  :D

Just listened again, I love the orchestration, not the piano writing so much.....can't imagine what it is

As the clip is already a day old, I'll offer one hint - it was written in the (very) late 1930s.

Audacity's software automatically tags everything "blues." I think all my clips were blues too. :)

:D  By the way, there is a great program called "Tag & Rename" that lets you change tags on any music file (even FLAC), or remove all of them as you see fit.

  ...so what's your guess Brian?

Nope. Nationality is right, though.

No. The composer is far better known.

The composer is a household name to everyone with a knowledge of 20th century music. I personally have only come to appreciate him recently...

The Indian Subcontinent comes to the rescue... ! Indeed - Britten, 'Young Apollo' (1939), for string orchestra and piano.

Uh oh. Could I postpone my clip for some other date while listener or Amfortas post one in the meanwhile? I was never really prepared, you know... just swooped in, looked at the wrong guesses and the clues and got the correct answer. ;D

Is there some sort of clause where I can revoke the requested delay? ;D

 :) As for the Britten, that was a good one. I know his Piano Concerto so I ruled him out and completely forgot about that other piece  :-X

IF Opus106's clip is still valid: I can't guess it, but it's rather a beautiful excerpt  ;D
