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

                      If Monseigneur Vinsanto could wrench his mind back from the nether regions of his heavy metal researches, to the question in hand - we are looking for a C (the second consecutive C due to late night brain fade I presume). I have been given temporary power of attorney (and the answer).

                      If I may adumbrate the clues so far and add one of my own - you are looking for a royal-sounding New Zealand blue cheese, from whose name you will be able to glean the answers. I will add that the latter are three pieces of music, by a Hungarian, an Austrian and a Russian...

                          You need to extract three pieces from those two words... Two of the pieces contain the words (one each, if you know what I mean), the third is a sort of... extension ... and they all contain the C word ...

                            You've taken to this Quizmaster role like a duck to stuffing, Caliban

                            Were you hit over the head by Nicholas Parsons at an impressionable age, perchance?

                            May I approach the Bench for clarification svp? .. are you saying that the answers are something like Windsor C, Blue C, and the third is a bit of a blur at the mo but contains C?

                              No but I shared a lift with Robert Robinson at such an age.

                              Ah! But this is a question for Fathers and elder children only.... Would that it were, would that it were...

                              As to your clarification - broadly: yes! It might be Blue[something] C...., for example, but: yes!

                              (Going to be travelling for a little while now, should be back on within the hour, so don't strain anything trying desperately to solve it! )

                                Ah Robert Robinson, Mr Skelhorn, res ipsa loquitur Mr Skelhorn, res ipsa loquitur, but always worth a try!

                                Worry not Caliban - take your time. Unless mercs unleashes his mighty googling prowess on this one I'm stumped
