    It is a piece of music.

    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      Yes, I was wondering about the "Easy-Listening" gateaux-themed single, too. But it might be a book/film ... ?

            Hence "easily" in the puzzle...

                An instinctive high-achiever, perhaps? So come along, one down, two to go!

                    Think you've cracked it mercia!! The Song of the Forests
                    I only got the Black Forest through Cali mentioning H. Potter: Horst Burbulla went on to build the telescopic crane which enables cameras to be moved during shots and used during the Harry Potter movies. And, Horst (wossisname) did Black Forest. Odd how the mind works. Edit: I have only read one H. Potter book and seen one movie!! I am no Potter anorak

                        I'm astounded how yours works Anna
                        I couldn't have made that connection in a million years
                        actually I rather pride myself in knowing absolutely nothing about H Potter

                          Yes. A lot of people say that.
                          I am now off to make some pasta and do creative stuff. I think the G is yours

                            To be fair, you mentioned HP this time around! But remarkable stuff Anna ... As I said, an instinctive high-achiever! I think your synapses are linked up differently from the rest of us, enabling you to connect your extensive mental library of facts quite brilliantly!

                              ... so happy not to know anything about any of the above.

                              By the way, who is this "Harry Potter" people are talking about? I know (from off the tele... ) that there's a barrister/ ex-chaplain doing a series on the Law with this name...
