    wikipedia has found me an Australian author called Mardi McConnichie who wrote a novel called The Snow Queen

    ............ still battling with the mardi gras composer

    let's say the incidental music is Tchaikovsky's [1873] to Ostrovsky's play The Snow Maiden

      You are in the right part of the world but a different country, and this one is the Mardi Gras composer

      let's say the incidental music is Tchaikovsky's [1873] to Ostrovsky's play [I]The Snow Maiden
      Yes I would say that too

          No - may I remind you:
          I should add that the title for the Fat one is as a singe word.
          So run the original title together, add the words "ballet" and Mardi Gras," Google and hey presto....

                    Playing those notes gives a haunting Tune full of Tension. But I've been too busy today to think about it, and we're out tonight, so that's it for the evening.

                      So while Flay is out carousing I'm back after a hectic day, and shall attempt to pull on a Santa-style thinking cap
                      "...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..."

                        indeed, particularly when played as a chord

                            true, I can only let you have that

                            played together making the so-called "TRISTAN chord"



                            undoubtedly your go

                              I hardly got that...

                              I even played the buggers on the piano, didn't recognise the T-T-Tristan chord...

                              I'm too ashamed to set the next one...

                                I sang 'em and they meant nothing! But then I went off carol singing in the rain! `
