      Well done cloughie! "The concerto is one of the main focuses of the 1996 film Shine, based on the life of pianist David Helfgott."

      Can you Shine with an S?

        The first movement ...reaches a number of ferocious climaxes, especially in the cadenza. ...Rachmaninoff wrote two versions of this cadenza: the chordal original, which is commonly notated as the ossia, and a second one with a lighter, toccata-like style. In his recording of the concerto, the composer used the second cadenza.

        "...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..."

            In the words of Chris Morris:

            A FACT, alone and tumbling through Infospace. Without help it could vanish forever... because only THIS can make it NEWS.

                Hinge with a capital H implies a name. Hinge and Bracket?

                You need to be somewhat unhinged on here....

                      Aha! "Simple Gifts" is a Shaker song written and composed in 1848 by Elder Joseph Brackett (the Lord of the Dance tune). The 7th section of Appalachian Spring is based on this.

                          God, I remember that bloke from my distant... and that song in fact!

                          You've been doing awfully well all on your lonesome

                          I'll wait to see if Cloughie salutes what you've run up the pole, as I can't improve on it at the moment without some coffee...

                            So the Britten one is easy.
