Oh, I was just going to post Guillaume Lekau, studied with Franck, died in Angers, wrote Andromede!!But I was watching the end of rugby interviews!

And the cycling?

[amateur51]

Oh! I thought he was Welsh!


(With apologies)

cheeky boy!

I see that Lekeu came from Verviers. Which was also where Henri Vieuxtemps came from. If you visit the wiki page for Verviers, famous people connected with, you will also learn : -

"Michael Horner, dominator, established adult film artist, came to Verviers in 2010".

Well I never...

[cloughie]

A search in Google seems to throw up a (not very famous ??? ) Belgian who seems to tick all the boxes. I will leave it for someone else to complete as I shall be away from keyboard for the next few hours not celebrating the Jubilee.

A wiki lekeu from scb methinks!

Bravissimo Calibano!

Care to do the Anna for us?

Anna's done the Anna (kinky!)....

So yes - Lekeu

1. Was a pupil of César Franck and we learn from Professor Wiki that "He used cyclic principles; that is to say, themes in his works will often recur from movement to movement, as they do in a good many of Franck's ... compositions."

2. Wrote Andromède, poème lyrique et symphonique for soloists, choir and orchestra (1891)

3. Died in Angers, so nothing to look forward to there for poor Guillaume

The Look forward in Angers clue was one of the most refined ever on AA imho

And the cycling?

Forgot about the velocipede!! No idea, a Belgium firm of bicycle makers perhaps? It seems Lekeu died of typhoid after eating contaminated sherbert! Anyway, I didn't solve it, you should be asking Cali.

We seem doomed to cross-post, Miss Anna

I learned about Lekeu via his violin sonata which is one of the wonderful performances which I'm discovering in this boxed set of delights ...

Two hearts and minds but with a single thought!

Just the one, bless their hearts

Ammy, the Match was so thrilling and entertaining and so odd to see Shane Williams playing for the Baa-Baas and him determined to score and being brought down by his erstwhile team mates! But he was thwarted. And Wales won. Brill first try from young Harry Robinson and James Hook had an absolute blinder of a match! Edit: Oh, and thrilling last try from that nice young player, forget his first name in the excitement, surname Blew
