    This is a most tantalising puzzle! What a great first turn at the crease

    I've absolutely no idea of the answer!

    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

        Fricka is good. Now look for a composer who sounds like Fricka..that will give you the name of someone who was involved in the making of K.

        I'm beginning to wonder if I've been too obtuse?

                It's fine! Plus one of the odd things is that it's difficult to judge when setting the puzzle - I've set some I've thought were easy and they've taken a day to solve, whereas others I thought were nicely fiendish were dispatched in about 3 minutes...

                The thing is there's a nice mix of tough and straightforward, over time
