Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

A lucky moment for me as I didn't get the "P" question right although my answer made a certain kind of sense.

But if mercia gets this S in the early hours, as is his wont, he'll be only too glad to hand over, of that I'm reasonably sure!
Caliban out! Night all."...the isle is full of noises,

EDIT - the thrd of Liszt's concert etudes is called Un Sospiro http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Un_Sospiro
apparently the fifth of the 5 Klavierstucke S.192 is called Sospiri
then I'm a bit confused
Dr Sparrow aka Dirk Bogarde starred in Death in Venice, that city having the Ponte dei Sospiri, but unless Visconti was known as George to his pals, that must be the wrong film
where have I gone wrong ?Last edited by mercia; 05-09-12, 05:57.

Elgar wrote Sospiri & dedicated it to WH 'Billy' Reed - a very haunting piece, very short, worth investigating if you don't know it
Liszt wrote Un Sospiro, a study

Dirk Bogarde starred in a filmed life of Liszt Song Without End directed by George Cukor, which used Un Sospiro as part of the soundtrack - as suggested by Messrs (and they don't come much messier ) Flay and RM
So well done, I think whichever letter is next, after Caliban's negotiations with Lats on behalf of the alphabet, should apply.
I'm out for most of today, hence my wish to get this tidied up promptly
