Aha! Wittgenstein?

Yes!
But an addition to his legacy is mentioned.

[Flay]

And I've little idea what has been chosen previously!

Mercs used to keep an archive, for example:

But he gave up in the end. Anyway we're all so senile that we forget what's been: a bit like fish in a bowl!

Ah! That's why I was welcomed aboard so fulsomely!

You are very welcome in all events.

As there are currently so few associators doing this essential work, we should be more leisurely about the replies, and not panic if there hasn't been an attempted solution for a day or two.

It would be nice if other players joined in however. It can be fun and educational.

More the quality of your puzzles They've been a shot in the arm...

This one's a classic. It's sent me burrowing down various tunnels, and like Flay, I keep getting distracted by non-answers! And I know I'm going to say 'of course!!' when the answer pops up.

But an addition to his legacy is mentioned.

Ferney's on the scent. I've been trying to find out if Leon Fleisher commissioned any works when he lost the use of his right hand, as he is perhaps the most notable successor to PW.... (Found that William Bolcom wrote a concerto for TWO pianos, left hand, for Fleisher and his friend Gary Graffman, who was similarly afflicted. I now want to hear it)

Btw I calculate that 10 or so folks chip in here more or less regularly...

Thanks, and eek indeed!
At least this is a new R!

Thanks to you too.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.

... prepare to say "of course!"
Ned Rorem: Piano Concerto #4 was written for said Mr Graffman.
Said Mr Rorem also wrote the Orchestral piece Eagles.

Problems finding the 8-movement suite ...

[Flay]

, and like Flay, I keep getting distracted by non-answers!

That's not all. The cat's been to the vet today with an abscess, and has been a torment since, dripping pus everywhere and scratching to go outside.

And to top it all we're unexpectedly looking after a friend's elderly and very yappy dog who forgets to ask to go out for the necessaries. The Bissel is getting well used

Of course!
You might not know it's an eight-movement suite without seeing the track listing on the CD, but in fact I've already told you: think sea interludes.

Ocean of Light, from the Suite A Quaker Reader (originally the finale of the eleven-movement suite for Organ)?

OF COURSE FERNEY HAD TO GET THERE FIRST !!!

I was just perusing the works of Mr Rorem and about to present his name, Eagles and the PC#4 to the assembled addicts...

... but likewise, s*d all clue about the suite.

Upside: Ferney gets to set the S, even though I had that little thrill of working out the right answer!

Cheers Ferns!!

How is that a sea interlude?
See post #654!

But well done all round.
I'll explain my warped logic in a while.

<doh> - Sunday Morning: Poem in Eight Parts for Orchestra (1977)
As opposed to the Sunday Morning Interlude (which opens Act Two of Peter Grimes)

Brilliant, Ferns!

dripping pus

Has he or she been out in the rain?

Oh... pus... !

....

Bad luck Flay.....

[Pulcinella]

You got it!

Yes, R is for Rorem.

Among his compositions are
Eagles (rocky birds of prey: I understand that there is a certain rock band called The Eagles)
Piano concerto 4, for left hand and orchestra (commissioned by Gary Graffman, and another in the set of left-hand concertos for which we mostly have Paul Wittgenstein to thank)
Sunday morning (the title of one of the sea interludes in Peter Grimes)

Rorem lived (may still, for all I know) in Nantucket on Cape Cod (cod and chips!).
Not sure how/why/when I first heard about him or any of his music (probably his third symphony, in a cheap 2CD Vox box), but I do have these three works on CD (as well as Quaker Reader).

This one has the PC on it:

http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/w/178655/Ned-Rorem-Piano-Concerto-for-Left-Hand-and-Orchestra

and this one has both Eagles and Sunday morning:

Looking forward to seeing ferney's next poser.
