"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Phil Prowse used a piano version of the adagio as a theme for Vinteuil (... old, doddery...) - beyond that, you're on your own. (Like Manuel, I know nothing).
(Academic ref. here, p.73 "and the slightly surprising transformation of the composer Vinteuil into Beethoven"; or starting at p.70).

I'd just finished listening to a disc early yesterday aftrenoon and , having a few minutes to spare switched on the Radio to see what was on , as I don't usually listen at that time. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the Adagio from the NInth Symphony. Surely they won't be playjng it all, I thought. Then it faded out in mid-phrase. Ah, this must be Radio 3 , I said.
