There is a Josef Klicka .... and now I've forgotten what the question is!! Why are we faffing around with Fs?

Loosen your shoes, woman

Ah yes! Josef Klička (December 15, 1855 – March 28, 1937)... Wrong century!

[mercia]

a lot depends on how Google-able the clues are. Hopefully I've not left that particular avenue open

I shall stop looking then

K has no dialogue unlike most these days. But not silent thanks to our 20th Century composer.

[mercia]

our 20th Century composer.

please have we decided whether P R Fricker is or is not our 20th Century composer ?

[Resurrection Man]

No Fricker or to be precise the other Fricke was the Wagnerian link. Think our posts might have crossed.

well, if you straddle the centuries you could be either one or the other I guess? A clue was 'made' which makes me think of food, Ferenc Fricsay sounds like a tasty Fricassée!! And, we have discounted (again going along the foodie route) Knorr so ........... I might go and watch the tennis, it may be less stressful

Trouble is were looking for a "namesake who was an 18th century composer" ... and that's quite a straddle..

I like the idea of Ferenc Fricassée!

I think we do need a clue. Did you say all the elements are German?

Could we have a birthplace or birth year for the 18th century dude?

Just for clarification, when I set this puzzle I wasn't sure what the relationship was between the main letter and the three clues. Did the three clues all have to start with the same letter or not. Looking back at some of the other questions, I came to the conclusion (possible wrongly) that the answer was no as long as there was some sort of musical connection in the clues. Which was what I went for. So apologies if that's not how it works.

I'll give you the 18th century composer - Reggio. The second name I was looking for was Fricke. So K was made by Reggio and Fricke and lastly our third composer contributed the music.

You were correct. The K can unite three elements starting with anything...

[Anna]

I'll give you the 18th century composer - Reggio.

Oh, of course - Antonino Reggio was described as a man of great intellect, erudite and eminent for his skill in music, but he has remained totally unknown for 280 years Until now!!

He's even got his own website http://www.monsignor-reggio.com/Biography.html

Now... hunt the K....

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Are we all looking through a Glass darkly, RM?

... and is this the best "K"-letter answer we've ever had to find?!

[Nick Armstrong]

Oh, of course - Antonino Reggio

Ooooh she can be cutting when her blood's up!
