"...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..."

39 years ago was 1974.
Just thought I'd mention it.
(Incidentally, a rude child once intimated that "cul-de-sac" was actually snigger-worthy in French. Was he correct? If so, what polite term do the French use for their dead-end streets? And don't say "Marseilles"!)[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]

Again maybe slightly misleading - 39 years or so between the start and the event that,as with most Unfinished, left it unfinished.......

Originally posted by antongould View PostIt's more from that about M'Lud
not quite sure what that sentence means but if it means Mozart is involved there is that Turkish third movement of that piano sonata - alla turca
only Hoddinott-related Us I can find are University College, Cardiff and a piece called Lady and Unicorn
so, 39 years between a work remaining unfinished and the death of the composer ??
EDIT - just been reading about Schubert's unfinished. apparently 37 years elapsed between his death and Mr Huttenbrenner revealing the symphony's existence.
lots of other unfinished works of courseLast edited by mercia; 27-01-13, 07:58.

Turkish composer Fazil Say's third symphony is called Universe apparently
Hoddinott - The Sun the Great Luminary of the Universe - missed that first time round
there's an unfinished Universe Symphony by Ives, but at the moment I can't figure out the 39 years
EDIT - Ives died in '54 minus 39 = 15. 1915 the year of the symphony's conception.
