        This question suggested itself whilst I was searching for the answer to the previous question (see message #23930).

            Look at the previous question (rather than the answer).

              I have indeed been revisiting my question... I looked at the word 'concertante' and reflected that Liszt and Beach both wrote C-C-Concertos for piano... but Martin Shaw didn't.

              Wide of the mark, I guess?

                Try reading a bit further along in the question.

                  Please find the concertante link between this B and a starry canticle, some extreme Wagner and an apparently noisy piece by a centenarian... was Cali's previous clue.

                  From this do I conclude that Mr Carter is involved?

                    No. You have gone too far.

                      Have you got the Canticles?

                      No - I always walk like this.

                      Ahem

                      Given Martin Shaw's proclivity for choral music, I'm going to pursue the Canticle route...

                          That should lead you to the required destination.
