      Funnily enough, I wondered about the self same man, which means in dribs but definitely not drabs we have the dénouement:

      The S composer is John Sheppard (or Shepherd) c. 1515 – December 1558

      Sheep may safely graze, widely known as an instrumental piece for piano/strings &c., is an aria from Bach's cantata BWV 208, text by Salomon Franck.

      Der Hirt auf dem Felsen D965 (The Shepherd on the Rock) was by Schubert, words by Wilhelm Müller.

      Rejoice in the Lamb (op 30) by Benjamin Britten had words by Christopher Smart (1722-1771), detained and imprisoned sometimes for "lunacy", sometimes for debt.

      It's just like the internet: whatever you want to look up there are always several possibilities (Hence I accepted Robert Shephard).

      But if cloughie will take T with us, I'm sure everyone will be pleased.

      PS Or hmvman who also got two parts right, albeit in separate goes.
      I did see John Shepherd but I went for Richard on the basis of his work at York - thinking you may have linked This because of Pulcinella’s connection with the city.
      I’ll sort a cuppa dreckly!

        Thank you, but I don't think I have the right sort of brain for clue setting. Happy to let cloughie take the T, if he doesn't mind.

                      The best I've come up with so far is that Leon Fleischer taught at Toronto.

                        Yes - two classical and one not.

                          I think that my reply to AD rules that out but I like your logic!

                            Would Léon Goossens be in the running?

                              Jeff Beck?
                              It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
