[subcontrabass]

only first name R person I can find associated with Paganini is Robert Schumann

Choice of two for Paganini. And the other works?

[Anna]

The famous Welsh pizza is named pizza dwygyfylchi after the famous tale of the headless horseman of Dwygyfylchi, just south of the A55 at Penmaenmawr

Having to think about this Ams - do you mean as in Smashing Pumpkins? Not sure about this R, does subby (who seems to have gone walkabout) mean by Bach is the odd one out that Rachmaninov is indeed relevant?
Edit: Ignore this post. Crossed with subby!!

[Nick Armstrong]

An R to link Paganini, Beethoven, and Bach.

So Robert is the R? Robert Schumann having written six études on caprices by Paganini, as devined by mercs.

Robert Schumann also wrote 6 fugues on B-A-C-H (Op 60)

And some "Studies in the Form of Free Variations on a Theme by Beethoven" (WoO 31)

So it's all the same Robert then?

Camille Saint-Saens wrote works of all three!

[Nick Armstrong]

Camille Saint-Saens wrote works of all three!

He did indeed

Did you know that ? Or was it too easily-googlable?

You'd better set out what the works are, for the Coleslaw Appreciation Society
