[Angle]

der arme Heinrich - Pfitzner. Well done - and ? and ? It seems hard-hearted to force everyone to the bitter end/

The other opera was DAS HERZ and the third work was ALT WEISEN. Phew.

Now on with the Q? R?

Good Sunday wishes to all in the foggy south.

[Flay]

It's foggy up north too! A challenging conundrum, Angle! Thanks for that Anna's law summation. I have tried to post the answers a few times this morning after that mercia somersault, only to be waylaid by the Mrs. We have had 10 family members staying overnight and she assumes I should be paying them some attention

Herr Pfitzner apparently found the Nazi era somewhat challenging.

We've done quodlibet and quadrille so I'll think about an R

That's what I call a nice relaxing weekend... !



Positively heroic of you to dare to come anywhere near the Forum

I went out last night with an old mate for a curry and too many and whiskies last night, till very very late. I'm going to make even less sense of AA puzzles than normal today I fear

I wonder if a junior Flay is trying to make a film of some totalitarian rally for a media studies project, and needs a substantial cast?

Sounds like you had a good post-prandial lash-up Caliban - in my local Bangladeshi resto they positively push you to have a free scotch or brandy on the house with your free After Eights - very nishe

[Flay]

<phew> They've gone, fortunately it was a flying visit. Mrs Flay is now at Asda, I am charged with hoovering and generally tidying up

On a whim, find me an R: the Wolf was fiddled by Camille according to Vlad.

This makes me think of at least one piano encore... Vladimir Horowitz arranged Camille Saint-Saens's 'Danse Macabre' as an encore.

It that on the right lines?

Meantime, I'd better keep it clean: frenchie's security team have set up an undercover surveillance unit on Queensway... Imagine the start I gave just now when I saw this for the first time

Well I'm sure the Tuk Tuk is staying alert tonight!

Saint-Saëns is one of the three composers, but his is not the piano piece.

intriguing - so Vlad is a composer ?

Hugo Wolf ?

a violin piece by Saint-Saens ?

Oh mercs, yes, Yes, YES!

[mercia]

Oh mercs, yes, Yes, YES!

I see. still intriguing.

the piano piece must be by Vlad I think 'coz Hugo didn't do piano

No, the Hugo piece is for piano. Vlad's is for a rather different keyboard instrument.

[mercia]

No, the Hugo piece is for piano.

oops.

rondoes had crossed my mind at some stage

IMSLP looks like a good source for questions, if I can find my way around
