I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask dumb questions

is the Listen with Mother element to do with the Dolly Suite berceuse ?
is the cake walk Debussy's of that ilk ?

sleep / beds / dreams / night-time .............

EDIT - I take it that what I said in #27290 was irrelevant

Not dumb at all. In fact getting pretty close and I think you might know the answer

Yes, 27290 was irrelevant.

I think you might know the answer

nope
oh dear, that wink means another clue

I shall light an imaginary cigarette and ponder

[Resurrection Man]

Oh no...just thought you'd got there...'twas all re the last wink. What with all the talk of bedtime and that.

I'd sort of got to the same place in #27294 above... It's not 40 w-w-w-w-winks is it? As in 'sleep' - berceuse in Dolly, Jumbo's lullaby... maybe Brahms's re 'variations'..?

[mercia]

oh I see
how foolish I feel now

No, that's not what it says on the card but a good try nonetheless.

EDIT: I wonder where the phrase '40 winks' came from?

Mind you, I had a good nights sleep last night....must have been the vino...or the G&T's while I cooked. Definitely a case of Schlaf der Toten

Which makes the rest of us feel even more foolish, because we don't see....!



Spit it out man!!

[Resurrection Man]

The answer has been presented on several occasions ....just not in the right language.

[mercia]

Spit it out man!!

no, no, no - I really don't know

I was "I see"-ing to your "wink" answer

[Resurrection Man]

wünschen Sie die Antwort?

[Roslynmuse]

Berceuse = Wiegenlied?

[Resurrection Man]

Berceuse = Wiegenlied?

Well done. Spot on.

All were examples of berceuse. Chopin originally named his Berceuse 'Variations'. And the other two have already been mentioned.

You get the 'X'.....heh..heh !
