7. (sorry for missing yours, earlier, dai) Technically the answer is no...see the earlier clue about more than one movement which was also a 'technically no' answer....

the salient points seem to be: time frame 1827-1899; composer non-western Europe and non-American; piece is for orchestra but usually not perfomed by orchestra, and is technically in one movement.

question: Russian composer?

Was the composer of Czech or Hungarian origin?

Is the composer Scandinavian (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish)? (I withdraw my question if navneeth hits the mark with his question.

I will give you a freebie here because had the composer been Scandinavian I would have answered 'yes' when asked if she/he was born in Western Europe.

That seems to leave only African or Eastern European composers, unless he's from Antarctica.

I think I'll do a Google search for Antarctican Composers. :roll:
