... ah, well done the Resurrection Man! - in less than 15 mins: I told you it was a neasy one...

Yes, from Balzac, Hoffmann, and Mann.
Arguably they were all also Insane Imaginary composers....

Paolo Gambara, in Gambara - in the Comédie Humaine of Honoré de Balzac
Johannes Kreisler, in Kreisleriana by ETA Hoffmann
Adrian Leverkühn, in Dr Faustus by Thomas Mann

Paolo Gambara, in Gambara - in the Comédie Humaine of Honoré de Balzac
Johannes Kreisler, in Kreisleriana by ETA Hoffmann
Adrian Leverkühn, in Dr Faustus by Thomas Mann

Thank you! Ages since I read Dr Faustus. I'm ashamed to say I've never read "La Comédie Humaine"

You not heard of Arthur Askey then, Caliban?
An aggressive squit of a comedian and a disturbingly aggressive macho pantomime Dame :whistle

Really? I thought he was a universally loved sort of cheeky chappie? Are you saying there was a very dark side to him? (Incidentally, I love Wilson Keppel & Betty!)

[Resurrection Man]

A J to link Norwich, Gloucester and Rome, please.

Sorry for the delay....been enjoying some fresh goats cheese and figs in the garden.

[mercia]

A J to link Norwich, Gloucester and Rome, please.

am I looking for a person [or two or three sharing the same name] ?

or something else entirely

[Anna]

To hazard a guess - J + Norwich brings to mind Julian doesn't it? Or, even, John Julius of Norwich? Or, something along those lines, possibly, or possibly not.

[Resurrection Man]

It is the same name.

Nothing to do with JJ
