    a nightingale

    Michael Finnissy has written a piano piece Nashville Nightingale - bit obscure

      Impeccable logic, Cali; but not the answer on the card. More in the territory of Luscinia Megarhynchos.
      Who wrote that? You know, about Berkeley Square?

        "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" is a romantic British popular song written in 1939 with lyrics by Eric Maschwitz and music by Manning Sherwin.

        "...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..."

                    I was thinking that earlier - but he's got a surname!

                          No. No surname involved.

                            Is it a fictional character? From a song or something?

                              Edit: That was a red herring! Michael Bond, author of Paddington Bear, also wrote books about a mouse, called Here comes Thursday!
