        Almost totally foxed - the only Maria T I can think of is Tony in West Side Story.

                    Is your T a composer Anton?

                    EDIT: I think it might be - young Telemann had severe problems (adultery, massive gambling debts) with his second wife Maria. And at some stage he had to flee from Swedish troops. But favourite son of Qandahar???

                    I've tried to find a work by T concerning Alexander the Great, who while not exactly a son of Kandahar, is reasonably suspected of founding the city. The name may be a shortening of Iskanda(ha)r, a version of his name. But I can't find any such work in the Telemann worklists I can access

                      And so to bed! If I am right I probably won't find out till late afternoon tomorrow, so do feel free to set a U if you can't wait till then.

                        well done LMP

                        apparently Telemann's opera Miriways concerns Mirwais of Kandahar

                          Yes very well done chaps you have it all ....Maria did seem to be a bit of a problem - do we wait for an excellent U from LMP?

                            Here I am, after losing my wallet shopping and then having to file a complaint against the NHS on behalf of my elderly tenant

                            U is a tricky one: needed the BIG music dictionary (20 vols!) for thik'un.

                            Find me a composer U to connect Agostini, Arrigoni and yet another Maria, this one rather stonier than the last.

                              Is the U a forname or surname?

                                A surname - didn't want to make it tooooooooo difficult. So all you need is a big music dictionary, high-order Googling skills and the patience of a saint

                                (Might S. Maria be worth a try?)
