Sorry - hadn't spotted that! Who's going to tidy up so that somebody - probably Cloughie - can serve T?

Not me guv, got to go out.

Unless I've not being paying attention (always a possibility ) we haven't had the answer to the final part of the question, have we?

Settle for that rarely-heard on R3 piece by R-K Capriccio Espagnole.

Apologies, been tuning in and out and didn't see the answer but I guess Cloughie's got it: capricious... mood changes... etc etc.

I buy into the sarcasm of "rarely-heard on R3": I think I've opined before on the banality and regularity of that darned piece

I might be able to rustle up a T as Mr C is off singing... I got 1/4 of the elements, so have a toe-hold...

[Nick Armstrong]

So a T then...

Gerald wrote singly about this T, Antoine and Jean-Joseph plurally, but all with Latin flair

[vinteuil]

Jean-Joseph plurally

... aha! both J-J M and J-J M

[Nick Armstrong]

... aha! both J-J M and J-J M

Non monsieur... 'Tis the T that is plural. Only one J-J I'm afraid.

That is to say, one J-J M

[vinteuil]

... what a relief! So it's not Theseus, as writ by both Mondonville and Mouret...

[Nick Armstrong]

... what a relief! So it's not Theseus, as writ by both Mondonville and Mouret...

Indeed it is not. The first of those Ms is the one to focus on to get to the T.

Monocle ... Mon Oncle ... Tati!

Monocle ... Mon Oncle ... Tati!

Nice associating, Don... mais non, désolé!

Retiring here. Let's see if the morning shift can bring us back down to earth.

Night folks.
