    A good comprehensive wrong answer - kinda mock coleslaw!

      Not sure what's happening here... Are we waiting for a ferntastic, cask-matured A ?
      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        Oops! Yes we are - after Winds and Wands, it's time to wend our way back to the beginning of the alphabet to wonder about

        An A that connects to Maurice, his most famous student, and Albert (if not half of the Coleslaw).

          I guess it would be too easy for the Maurice to be Ravel, or even the one you tried for the W, Ohana?

            Ah - but I might be thinking "They'll be expecting me to avoid another reference to Ravel, so I'll deliberately do just that!", mightn't I?



            (it is Ravel.)

              That may make the Albert, Roussel!

                  And that's as far as I can get. Aaron Copland and Vaughan Williams I think also learnt from Ravel but I don't see any link.

                    I didn't know about Copland - but it is RVW who is ravelent here.

                        ...but Ravel, Roussel and RVW all had their sweet Adelines!

                          - did they?! That's not the answer on the card (and doesn't fit with the unfinished coleslaw), but if you provide a bit more information, I don't see how I could possibly say that you were "wrong"! (I knew that RVW's first wife was Adeline, but cannot find any reference connecting Ravel or Roussel with an Adeline?)

                            no on further checking I was wrong, BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN INTERESTING IF THEY HAD!

                                They all seem to have driven ambulances in World War I.
