Private Passions

Will someone explain or shall I be forced to listen? (Chat 'n' music isn't a format I favour however entertaining )

Try ~58:45 in on Sounds, just before Beethoven's 9th. (I followed oddoneout's advice, but will listen properly later).
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).

Same time as what - or do they always pop up at the same time?

Save time - damn nuisance when you type an actually existing word, not the one you intended, and the spellcheck lets it through. Thanks, AuntDaisy.
