Top of the class, Cali!Originally posted by Caliban View Post
That's the right answer.
Sir James Galway: The man with the golden flute.
Flute: One of the rude mechanicals in Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Mozart: Concerto for flute and harp, so a co-soloist.
So, over to you to give us another.

Apologies if my dangling modifier (now who's being rude again!) confused anyone.
The precious metal is not the F, which might have been an implication of my poorly constructed question.
Bottom of the class for grammar!

I can in fact follow on with a little G, as it happens... it's a little clunky but anyway here goes:
A rooster spinning in the Italian air (with valedictory help from Finzi) - which G?"...the isle is full of noises,
