Alphabet Associations - II

[Flay]

Could I add that trying to solve this G has been deeply and personally stressful.

Raking through the life and works of Richard Clayderman has been almost as bad as being asked to research André Léon Marie Nicolas Rieu

[Flay]

And if I discover that the answer is Kenny G I'll really crack up.

No - a "double" is importantly involved.

Letters (other than the initial G in works / movements from works by each of the three named composers) aren't.

Double as in stand in (James Bond's double in the film was....), doubling up (as in the two harps in Shostakovich scores mentioned on another thread), or playing an octave higher or lower? Or indeed something else?
Or would answering give the game away?

At least I've stopped wondering if the double p in Gruppen had anything to do with it.

[Flay]

Rameau's Suite in E minor has 9 sections, the 3rd is Gigue en Rondeau I and the 4th is Gigue en Rondeau II

But I can't find anything related for the other two.

[vinteuil]

... but have you looked at Rameau and doubles? Nouvelles Suites de Pieces de Clavecin 1728??

No. Have you?

[vinteuil]

No. Have you?

... I used to try to play the a minor Suite...

Mind you, not at all sure I can fit either Stockhausen or Clayderman into my first conjecture.

Clayderman? Not sure, but I think I may have trodden in some...

No

doubling up (as in the two harps in Shostakovich scores mentioned on another thread),

Not this, either

or playing an octave higher or lower?

Nor either of these.

Or indeed something else?

Yes!

Or would answering give the game away?

Evidently not!

There is a bit of a mislead in my answer to Flay in 1604 (and it does seem that we've been playing this since then! Mind you, it's only 17:49 now.) The Rameau work does not literally feature the G as I suggested, but the G is inevitably associated with the title of the Rameau work.

At least I've stopped wondering if the double p in Gruppen had anything to do with it.

Very wise.

Look elsewhere than his instrumental works.


("Elsewhere than"? That doesn't sound correct.)

My sincere and abject apologies - there are many other works more immediately associated with this G, but I thought that they might be too obvious Mind you, there is a misspelt version that could have provoked even greater distress than Clayderman!

[Flay]

Still looking. Tangentially I discovered the Callithumpian Consort

Are you the patron, Calibs?

Beyond?

Mind you, what do I know?

[Pulcinella]

Look elsewhere than his instrumental works.

Here's a comment on the use of 'elsewhere than' that I found.
Maybe an ’in' would make your comment read better?

Haven't discovered the G yet, though!

[Pulcinella]

Have we all given up on this one?
I have!
Maybe it's true what antongould said when I first joined: we get going again on Advent Sunday!

Intermittent pondering and searching has led me to suggest "garland" as a possibility.
