    It was wrong anyway . Norfy's not giving anything away .

    Did you leave a tip after your lunch with the Missus, Norfy?
    I wouldn't say that...anyway, to make things easier:
    London/conductor, New York violinist/composer, New York/conductor, Heidelberg/singer (and by far the youngest).

                        your knowledge of German geography is far superior to mine I'm sure

                        oops - sorry - I didn't read wikipedia carefully enough <doh>

                        it was Oberderdingen where he fell down the stairs

                          not quite:

                          Wunderlich's promising career was cut short by an accident while he was on a hunting vacation (his hobbies included hunting, guns, and fast cars). He fell from a stairway in a friend's country house in Oberderdingen near Maulbronn, and died in the University Clinic of Heidelberg just days before his 36th birthday. He is buried in Munich's Waldfriedhof cemetery.

                                "...the isle is full of noises,
                                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
