            Oh! I thought you'd snucked in an extra clue with "O to" (which is almost "Otto")!

            pray continue
            I trust everyone is happy with the coleslaw at Café Otto?


            In which case, see how you score with this:

            Ralph's Willie's not as big as Wolfgang's (written for Leopold's mother, perhaps?)
            Can you Provide the P?

              I thought you might like to know that if you get your bid in by 11pm today, you can pick up this rather lovely d'Indy autograph for $200 (details via PM!)

                For starters, are we talking

                Ralph: Vaughan Williams
                Wolfgang: Mozart
                Leopold: Mozart

                  That's very kind, but I think I'll give that one a miss. I wouldn't wish to deprive a real fan of such a treasure

                        There's no answer to that, young man!

                          I can't think what you mean, young man!

                          However, I do notice a punctuation deficiency in the original - perhaps this might be of some use:

                          Ralph's, Willie's - not as big as Wolfgang's (written for Leopold's mother, perhaps?)
