question set by ........................... caliban

You are like an avenging angel, mercs. There is no 'scape from Judgement

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

did I interrupt your L thinking ?

Yes, but it can wait!

Meanwhile, try this:

An M to link Elgar, Vivaldi and Ogdon.

Did we all give this a thought in the hunt for Rossy's talkative character?

- 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!

I investigated the compoers Converse and Conversi .....

I did learn a new word [to me] when chasing talkative .............. logorrheic

[Northender]

You're a natural, Rossy! Do hope you stick around these puzzling precincts of the Forum!

Hear!Hear!

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'

Manchester?

John Ogdon studied there

some Vivaldi scores were discovered there

- the "Manchester" Sonatas for Violin & Continuo.

and ELGAR is an online archive, also based there I believe.

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

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'

- so it could have been "Chopin"?

[Northender]

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).

[Northender]

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