      I had Paul in mind for two of the clues, not the other.

      Can you progress a little further?

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

        Twas a guess! I confess all I know is that Britten wrote the music to his early opera Paul Bunyan!

            Who might Walt be? How many famous ones are there?!?
            And if I told you that my comment "can you progress a little further?" was relevant to Ralph?

                    Ammy you got so close that I feel I should give you clearance to proceed with a C.

                    As you said the B is Bunyan

                    Ralph Vaughan Williams - Pilgrim's Progress (based on John Bunyan)
                    Benjamin Britten's opera and Walt Disney's 1958 animated film based on the story of lumberjack Paul Bunyan

                    C you soon?!

                      Damned civil of ya, Fawlty!

                      What C started on the Croatian coast and ended in Rome traffic, leaving 32 on 9

                      An attempt to make something fairly straightforward rather more complex - perhaps?

                          I think this should have something to do with Corelli but not sure what!

                            not as complex as the C puzzle (IMO)

                                32 on 9 anything to do with Goldberg or Beethoven or even compass points?
