Yes, I'm aware of that somewhat tedious protocol, but I'm unclear whether it's the setter's or the answerer's job...

I think it's a question of goodwill and discretion, depending on who's feeling more generoso with the informazioni at the time...

I don't think it's tedious, is it? It merely recognises that others might want to share in the solution, rather than each puzzle becoming an arcane, coded ding-dong, with the setter's and solver's heads rammed up each other's wikipedias

I must have missed the inauguration of Anna's Law all that time ago. I take it it involves full and frank explication of constituents?

A sort of intellectual autopsy, yes. For the benefit the more intellectually challenged, it helps explain some of the more obscure interplay and references. Think of it like the R3 morning schedule. User friendly, innit.

I refer the honourable member to my previous answer...

Thanks guys, I am much the wiser, or at least, better informed

A very easy E:

This E has historically been applied to the music of Krenek, Weill and Hindemith, among others.

EDIT: slight change to question, replacing "linked" with "applied". Sorry, all.

To paraphrase Dr McTavish (Patrick Cargill) in The Blood Donor .. "we're not all Ted Moults, y'know!"

There's one helluvan echo in here

Now, echo would have been a much better answer to a puzzle than the E on offer.

However, and as a supplementary clue, the year 1938 is significant.
