Alphabet associations - I

[Nick Armstrong]

I just loved his line about 'two horns on the same goat'. Lady Norfolk and I have come to different conclusions regarding the name of the perpetrator. (We're probably both wrong! )

Haven't got that far... Will look out for it Saving some for tomorrow!

I gather t'truth comes out at t'funeral !!

Here's a cluelet for those not watching the Rugby or otherwise engaged:
A bunch of fertile geese;
Another bunch of fertile geese; and
A bunch of percussionists
(Back at half-time!)

Oye what you on about?

[Norfolk Born]

A grovelling apology is in order!
The question should read:
Which 'S' suggests that Handel was half as industrious as Vivaldi and Albinoni?
As mercia has already realized, we're talking about sets of concerti here.

Don't worry, Norfs! There, but for the grace of you know who, go we all - especially with Six Nations and Corrie providing distractions....!!!

Still don't know the answer! But I am trying to watch the F1 qualifying

Does Caliban realise the Six Nations involve pulsating men with sturdy thighs and scrummages, flesh on flesh realtime but Corrie is strictly made up with fake sets and actors and is pure make believe? Goodness, I do worry about him sometimes!

I think it's time to clear up the mess that my 'S' question has become by offering a final clue that will, hopefully, lead somebody to the answer:
Organ x 6
Oboe x 12
Violin x 10 + Oboe x 2

Sonatas?

[Norfolk Born]

No, we're talking sets of concerti (see #15993). For the purposes of this question, 'La Stravaganza' mentioned by mercia would be 'F', and the Four Seasons and its companion pieces would be 'E'.

[Norfolk Born]

'La Stravaganza' : Opus 4 (Four)
'The Four Seasons' and 8 others: Opus 8 (Eight)
There's a set of concerti by Vivaldi comprising 10 violin concerti and 2 oboe concerti, which shares an opus number with a dozen concerti by Albinoni and half-a-dozen by Handel.
(I hope somebody gets this soon, I want to catch up with 'Dirk Gently' before listening to JRR.)

Embrace the Chaotic!!!!!

Handel wrote Six Concerti Grossi Op3 and Twelve Concerti Grossi Op6.

.... or, if it helps: Six Concerti Grossi Op3 (Three) and Twelve Concerti Grossi Op6 (Six).

[Norfolk Born]

What about Handel's set of 6 organ concerti?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

What about Handel's set of 6 organ concerti?

It's often been said that I'm a one-off!

Are we talking about Opus Sevens?

[Norfolk Born]

Vivaldi's Opus Seven comprises 12 concerti, as does Albinoni's, but Handel's comprises only 6.
You got there despite the confusion I sowed! Over to you for a 'T', yes?

[Nick Armstrong]

Phew!!!! Well done fhg!

Time to move on!!
