Alphabet Associations - II

I thought that about being landed with N.
Maybe in this period of so many other restrictions on our daily life we could relax the AA rules and let the setter choose their own letter?
I'd vote for that, but what do others think?
I know we're a hardy breed on here.

Perhaps the rules could be relaxed to the extent that, in the case of trickier letters, e.g. Q, X and Z, these can be included in, but need not necessarily begin, the answers.

I don’t think carte blanche but I may be skipping a letter will be sufficient to keep things moving. It may be easier to go for a P.

OK with me. (Were you a fan of Bob Holness by any chance?)

Not really but a bit of innuendo never goes amiss, a bit like rubato in Elgar Symphonies!

A P which links Alex, Ernie and Alex.

I think that these awkward letters could already be skipped, under current guidelines/rules (), but I rather like the idea of including the letter somehow. That would be a new twist.

It would be interesting to have one which included Q Z and X!

I thought that too, immediately after I'd posted.

The word que or qui in a French title was the best I could come up with!

Any idea on #3439 yet?

Tradition/custom dictates that the previous setter doesn't partake in the next round, but I could be bold and say that Borodin, Dohnanyi, and Scriabin probably all penned pieces for the piano.

But who in their right minds wants to be lumbered with setting a Q?

Scriabin is right, but a piano piece is not what I had in mind!
I didn’t know about the tradition/custom to which you refer - I’m delighted for you to play a full role!

Would P be Poeme (e-grave)? Alex Scriab wrote more than you can shake a stick at, many for pf solo, so maybe he's Alex x2 for Poeme du feu and Le divin ditto? While Ernie Chausson also gets in twice at least, Poeme de la mer (etc) and the Poeme for vln & orch,

But I expect you'd still be wanting another Alex...

Alexander Glazunov composed a Poeme Lyrique.

Ha! If we've not got the right answer I think we should definitely get the 2nd prize, the Crackerjack Electric Trumpet!

Borodin's Petite Poeme d'Amour became a Petite Suite.
Scriabin's Poeme was ecstatic.
Glazunov's Poeme was lyrical.
Chausson's Poeme was about love and the sea.
(If the correct answer is in there somewhere, may I suggest that LMP be invited to set the next question?)

Forget Mr Borodin and the rest is spot on - actually I would have also allowed just Poeme for Ernie C, so LMP has the next and as I skipped a letter would be forgiven if he chose to take R but it would be interesting to see him take on Pulcie’s Q X Z cocktail!
