          Would I be correct in suggesting that this AA is AA?

            ?
            Seems the right one to me, unless the Wilis have cropped up elsewhere.
            Mind you, Suzy Kein is always giving me them, so perhaps Essential Classics is the place for them!

            Well, the A I'm after is indeed a component of AA.
            So, which, and who are the other As?

              Oh! So the answer isn't Adolphe Adam, then?

              Which would explain why I can't get any further than the Wilis in Giselle.

              Should we, perhaps, be looking for a trio of Adams(es)

                Yes, three Adams please (as opposed to three Adnams, which would go down a treat later on: off to school Christmas Café, whatever that might be, shortly!).

                    Oh, I forgot about the Puccini version.

                    Sorry if you were led astray!

                      Not to mention Charles-Adolphe Gand, violin maker, who invented a cipher to encode the prices in his ledgers.

                              Well yes, but this was an unintentional littering (hence my 'simple' original difficulty rating!).
