Gnome?

OK, I admit I'm struggling with the first but I reckon the second refers to our favourite group, featuring ol' crazy diamond himself, The Gnome from Piper.Originally posted by hercule
are you sure?
why would that be then?
The third is not Wagner (I was originally thinking about Mime from Siegfried) but is in fact Caliban's favourite composer
, and the second of his two concert etudes called Gnomenreigen (Dance of the Gnomes) the first companion piece being Waldesrauschen (Forest Murmurs)
Sorry I can't do a clean sweep... (if I'm right?)Comment

Oh dear, Hercule. Do you mean to say you missed all our various thread digressions on Pink Floyd? It seems everyone participating in Alphabet Associations (and a few who don't) are closet Floydies. Piper at the Gates of Dawn, their first album featuring Syd Barrett, is many people's favourite...Originally posted by hercule
Go on, give us a clue for the first, then...
EDIT: ok, you haveComment

Nice one rubbers... Well that means No 1 is the Gnome from Pictures at an Exhibition....Originally posted by hercule"...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..."

A propos Mr R I could do with some help on the "music you switched off" thread - I'm fighting a single handed battle against Lizstophiles polite and less polite. I seem to recall you think Liszt was responsible for more than his fair share of stinkers... I need back up!!!!Originally posted by rubbernecker View Post...in fact Caliban's favourite composer

Well, the use of 'shocking' was a bit of a giveaway, but not bad, Hercule.Originally posted by hercule
quite so, well done chaps
unless you want to fight over it, I guess rubbers takes over .............
(how do you rate my question, out of 10?)
I now need to get lycra-ed up for the cycle home, so will be unable to provide an H until probably about 11pm this evening. Amuse yourselves in the interim

Good luck, lycranecker. Yes I got to the Floyd from "shocking" but dwelt too long on Gilmour...Originally posted by rubbernecker View PostWell, the use of 'shocking' was a bit of a giveaway, but not bad, Hercule.

As far as I am concerned that was an 8 or 9 in the question stakes - obscure enough to demand thought but straightforward enough to be gettable with a bit of concentration and lateral thinking
