      You are like an avenging angel, mercs. There is no 'scape from Judgement
      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

        Yes, but it can wait!

        Meanwhile, try this:

        An M to link Elgar, Vivaldi and Ogdon.

          - and more than just a thought: several minutes googling before the conviction that there was a composer called "Chattaway" took possession of me! Well, all I can say is that there ryddu well should be!

                  Manchester?
                  John Ogdon studied there, some Vivaldi scores were discovered there, and ELGAR is an online archive, also based there I believe.

                    I agree ferney, preferably called Chris and his works should include a quicker version of the Running Set!

                      Sounds like something nasty! and medical! The South Walian word for chattering is to Chops. As in 'she's dead chopsy' and 'we were chopsing and chopsing for hours and never got to the bottom'

                        - the "Manchester" Sonatas for Violin & Continuo.

                        Is it?! I didn't know this, but if it fits, I'm happy! The answer "on the card" has almost Bronte-esque connotations.

                            - so it could have been "Chopin"?

                              Goodness me! 'Manchester' kind of popped into my head, but I never dreamt that it was actually the answer! I shall devise an 'N' forthwith. (I did wonder about Elgar Howarth).

                                An 'N' to link Aaron, Bohuslav and Louis.
