A Conversation for The H2IQ Quiz - Be The First Among Equals

In my collection of classical music I have a range of pieces which last 6, 7, 8 and 9 minutes. The piece by Bach lasts 8 minutes and the CD lasts longer than the piece by Holst. The piece on DAT tape is longer than the piece by Beethoven. The single lasts for 7 minutes and the album does not contain any Holst. The piece by Butler is on the DAT tape. Can you determine which piece of music is on which format and how long each lasts?

Eh - could you just slide it over here...?

Titania (gone for lunch) Posted Oct 24, 2001
...or maybe you could hand me the HollePolle? Please?

How can my posting be number 6 only , since I posted when there was no posting visable before - except Greebo's, of course.
Well done though, everybody.

Thanks Gnomon!

Gnomon - time to move on Posted Oct 24, 2001
Fortunately, Gnomon's head is still huge from having won the title of Champ last week, so Titania has no problem hiding behind it.

Hmmm, I'm still looking for her, but for some strange reason, she doesn't seem to trust me anymore

Still a long way to go Bagpuss - I probably won't get another question right for weeks now
Oh, and by the way, I'm busy right now filling in the secret tunnel that Titania's dug to get to the question before everyone else
* reaches for a shovel *

*hidden behind Gnomon's big-headedness T. starts to dig a new tunnel*

Bagpuss Posted Oct 25, 2001
Whisky, same here. I hardly ever get to the question before it's been answered.
*starts filling in Titania's tunnel behind her*
