I thought 1 was Bloch also but as he is Swiss and the others aint then surely it must be someone else or is there a composer called Blok? the maker of our misery must clarify this one I think.

Yes, well done.
1, 2, 5, 7 and 11 all correct. The Bloch here is Jozsef rather than Ernest.

Will anyone get the trick question I wonder?
