        You leave Kafka's bits alone, Flay, you'll get struck off.

        A propos, this K and his successor were also heavily into organs.

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

                You have it, anton

                Just a couple more details to add.

                    At 10 past midnight on Monday morning, certainly.

                    Shall I oblige to free you up for L?

                    It's easy really - both Kuhnau and Bach wrote a Magnificat, and a cantata called 'How beautifully shines the morning star' (and he was the predecessor as Cantor at St Thomas's in Leipzig but you knew that).

                    And he collaborated with Bach on various organ projects e.g. in Halle

                              when I put "old chelsea composer" into a search box it comes up with Richard Tauber but I can't imagine that's relevant
                              EDIT - mind you ............. I think it could well be .................
