Alphabet Associations - II

[Pulcinella]

I have just discovered that the Bryan Symphony Orchestra is based in Cookeville, Tennessee.
As flay has said, what one learns from AA!

Presumably Bryan is deliberate, and not a typo for Brian (who only wrote 32 symphonies, not 51, anyway)?

... and Wanhal spelled his name with a double-you

[Nick Armstrong]

Most excellent Q and wonderful A - well done both .....

Having been away for a few days, it's 'umbling to come back to such sparkling stuff

... and Wanhal spelled his name with a double-you

"Beetle"?

<Hard teacher's stare>*

A quick check confirms that no Typos are involved in the setting of my puzzle.

* - or, more correctly "Teacher's Hard Stare"

Of course, I expected nothing less than a perfectly contructed and presented poser!

"Beetle"?

V W to you too.

Sad that we're not talking abt Waṅhal - Bryan catalogued his works, but I think there are actually 132 symphonies ...

Four Beatles - but the first famous foursome of performers was perhaps Vanhal, Dittersdorf, Haydn, and Mozart...

And am stuck on Metastatic swimmers...

Oh, but we are, winty

Argh! The perols of relying on WIKI, which refers to "51 existing Symphonies".

The "beetle" refers, as you have intimated, to the popular car originally designed by Porsche, known as the Beetle and manufactured by VW; suggesting the alphabetical play in that said composer's name is written with equal frequency with an initial V and a W. (And, less frequently, as "Van Hal").

And am stuck on Metastatic swimmers...

Metastasio and V/Wanhal should take you there.

[Vhatewer - the next letter (another "W", "X" or any of your choice) is yours.]

Oh, fudge! - not a "swimmer"; an equestrian.


Not one of my better efforts, alas.

... well, some swimmin' goin' on here selon wiki -

" i committenti scelsero Il trionfo di Clelia, ritenendolo più adatto al pubblico bolognese per la sua maggiore spettacolarità, grazie alla presenza di scene di particolare effetto come il combattimento di Orazio su un ponte, da cui si getta nel fiume, oppure l'attraversamento del Tevere a cavallo da parte della protagonista Clelia."

il Trionfo di Clelia was a Metastasian opera of our man Jan Křtitel Vaňhal / Waṅhal.

I need a siesta and then a trip to the shops calls - will be ponderin' a wubbleyou

So, to untangle the coleslaw:

Our man is Jean Baptist Vanhal, or Wanhal, or Van Hal; (or Jan Krtitel Vanhal)
the V/W connection suggesting the first Beetle
whose several dozen Symphonies were edited by Dr Paul BRYAN
and whose opera The Triumph of Clelia (Il trionfo di Clelia - to the same libretto by Metastasio that was also used by Gluck) tells of a Roman woman who escaped from captivity by swimming/riding a horse across the Tiber.

All of which leaves the wubblewoo to a post-snooze & shopping vinty

... alors!

Which Belgian might connect William Tell [1791], Orfeo [1646], la Clemenza di Tito [1752], la Clemenza di Tito [1760], and Phyllis [1765] ?

[Pulcinella]

He/she would be a Walloon, then?

[vinteuil]

I think he was a Walloon, yes, - but that is not the wubbleyou we're looking for...
