I haven't "twigged" either. However, if there is any consolation, an explained joke is not funny, until one then relays it on to others, only to experience their hilarity.

In a typically barbed introductory note in the form of a kind of epistle dedicatory (that in reality has more of the character of an epistle denunciatory) in Sorabji's hand on a copyist's copy of his equally barbed 1922 pastiche on Chopin's Minute Waltz there's a reference to "Pecksniffs and Grundies" but I somehow doubt that the latter was occasioned by anything to do with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimber ...
