Vogtland.

He also wrote the anthem to the Tyrolean Bundesland.

Re - "A pop record once banned by the BBC - ostensibly by its classical music establishment" (1962) I have said that picture F is relevant.

Who is that man?

You are doing well - if you tell me who Edith Beckersgill is I would be prepared to tell you that picture B is of Stanley Ann Dunham.

There will now be a short musical interlude while we ponder picture H and seek any sort of connection.

"Are we back yet?"

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Well, picture F is Peter Illyich Tchaikovsky, so we're in cracking territory, I presume. But the only reference to a Pop record based on the Tchaikovsky is Nut Rocker by B. Bumble and the Stingers (later covered by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer) - but, whilst that was considered for exclusion from broadcast, the selection committee decided it wouldn't offend anybody, so it wasn't banned.

Oh well, you win then.

You can have the O question.

I genuinely thought it was banned.

My apologies!

(Picture C was of a Bee as in B Bumble and the Stingers, F was Tchaikovsky re The Nutcracker on which Nut Rocker was based and L was ELP who later covered it as you say)

Did you get any of the other bits?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

I genuinely thought it was banned.

Not according to WIKI:

At the time of its original release in the UK, the BBC had a policy of banning records which parodied classical music. "Nut Rocker" was put to committee, which decided that "[t]his instrumental piece is quite openly a parody of a Tchaikovsky dance tune, is clearly of an ephemeral nature, and in our opinion will not offend reasonable people", and was not therefore banned.

... and they quote this as the source of their assertion:
