Guido's #9 is the Leonard Bernstein Clarinet Sonata, 2nd movement.

#10 is the slow movement of the Poulenc cello sonata - a piece I've never heard before, indeed, did not know of its existence until five minutes ago. Creative research.  :D

OTOH, I do know, and didn't recognise it. The shame..... :-[

Guido

Correct Larry - Although it was meant to make you listen to the piece! Its one of my favourite slow movements ever.

That's right Mark - again, another favourite passage - breathtakingly beautiful.

I have some more lined up, some easy, some difficult.
Geologist.

The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away

Guido

#263
more

(mystery 13 buggered up... mystery14 is just the cello part to a concerto, but most of the hall marks of the composer are there - Such a good opening)

mystery 15 also has an orchestral accompaniment version.

i'm not even going to try, lol
Guido, is 11 a late Stravinsky score?

Mark G. Simon

I believe it's the Requiem Canticles, the opening movement.

Mark G. Simon

The word "cello solo" in #14 looks like a C.F. Peters typeface.

Definitely. A guess (maybe a wild guess) for Guido #12: the Kodaly solo cello sonata.

The only one I can do of these straight off is no 12, but Larry has already got it!  >:(  However, at least I can add emphasis - is is the Kodaly. I have this score anyway, but if I didn't, a big clue as to the identity is the obvious scordatura of the C and G strings (down to B and F#) which makes the cross-string arpeggios on this page a peroration in B major

Sorry, Luke.  :P Another batch from me:

LR23 is a vocal score.
With LR27, I aligned it wrong in the scanner, but you can figure out the clefs.

Larry Rinkel

Are we still missing any from the earlier pages?

lukeottevanger

I was about to say 23 looked like a vocal score - Wagner? (I only ask because I spotted a Tristan chord in the mix!)

Not Wagner, but a plausible guess.

We're missing some of Greg's, I think. And of mine, we are missing 1,2,9,10,13 and 21

Larry's no 27 - I am guessing Orff's Antigone

Yes. And is your #2 John Taverner?

lukeottevanger

Yes it is - the handwriting/graphic style?

And your no 25 is Lutoslawski's Third, I think

Guido

Kodaly, and Stravinsky are both correct of course. I wish I had some more interesting scores.

Here's some final ones from me...

No.17 is more 'commonly' known in its viola form. Also there is an orchestral version of the accompaniment.

#279
LR 25 is Lutoslawski I think?

EDIT: Just saw that Luke had guessed Lutoslawski 3rd
