Mercia! What happened to your Italian post?! Made me smile!

[Anna]

YES! I love reading Asterix! (French or English, Anna?)

Latin or Greek, of course!!
I see tonight, Beatles Magical Mystery Tour. Never seen it, might do so.

This English G connects another jubilee with French children and cards

are the cards French, as well as the children ?

thought I'd try to ask an intelligent question

is G a composer or musician [or neither] ?

Hello Mercia! Not in Italian today?

I was going to give a clue or two last night, then I thought I would wait to see what people wanted to know.

G is not a name. It's an English word. The cards and children are both originally French, so a little translation is needed to get to the relevant Gs.

The jubilee element of the question is in the English language - although had Israeli origins

Yes! Well done, mercs: Games Not sure it was staring you in the face, I felt a bit guilty doing the French thing again - but the pieces are sometimes known by their English titles, Children's Games and Game of Cards...

Wot no William Boughton (Aylesbury Games)?

[mercia]

Joachim's double and quartet partner and Max's Yom Kippur adagio

[Nick Armstrong]

Wot no William Boughton (Aylesbury Games)?

Or Debussy: (just Games)

(Mind you, I'd never heard of the Boughton. Would have been a good one )

Kol Nidrei, Op. 47, subtitled as Adagio on 2 Hebrew Melodies for Cello and Orchestra with Harp is a composition for cello and orchestra written by Max Bruch dedicated to and premiered by Robert Hausmann, who later co-premiered Johannes Brahms's Double Concerto with Joseph Joachim, the dedicatee of Bruch's most famous work, the Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor.

My guess is the answer is Hausmann

[Northender]

Or Debussy: (just Games)

(Mind you, I'd never heard of the Boughton. Would have been a good one )

Possibly because it's RUTLAND (the composer), not William (the conductor) Boughton. Sorry about that!

[mercia]

My guess is the answer is Hausmann

that's a trez heducated and correct guess mr armature
Hausmann was also (apparently) a member of the Joachim Quartet

it's all yours

Cor cheers, mercs!

So the coleslaw is Max Bruch's Kol Nidrei, subtitled as Adagio on 2 Hebrew Melodies for Cello and Orchestra with Harp is a composition for cello and orchestra was dedicated to and premiered by Robert Hausmann, who later co-premiered Johannes Brahms's Double Concerto with Joseph Joachim, the dedicatee of Bruch's most famous work, the Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor. Hausmann was also a member of the Joachim Quartet.
