      I suspect from your last post that we're breathing the air of another planet?

          Handel, Sibelius, and Scarlatti are all craters on Mercury.

            As are several other composers. Interesting to see who is included and who is, as yet, missing. Britain seems to be represented by Dowland, Purcell, and Holst.

            Over to you for the next letter.

              Well done ferney!
              I was beginning to wonder about astronomical associations (Mars, Mercury) but did not have the time to investigate further!

                  Okey-dokey, so we want

                  an N to connect, Berners, Holst and Idomeneo

                    Sorry, Cloughie - I didn't quite catch that; the second word sounded like "off", but the first ... ?

                    I was researching Nosferatu, but realized that I'd collected all the clues and set this before! Shall be back in due course ...

                      So are we now playing reverse alphabet associations?
                      Give the answer and come up with the best clues?

                        It'd be a help at the moment: I've just realized that I've also set "Nun" before!

                          OK, try this:

                          An N being Weisz for Silvestri? You'll have to seek for Miles (unless you live near the Coliseum).

                              Correct - it's NOT!

                                (And no doubt certainly not Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel)
