Chronologically, this A composed a symphony, a concerto and an overture, plus a theme and twenty-five variation disquisition from ancient Greece, all under the same opus number

What's a disquisition? Spanish religious LP?
Do you mean the 25 variations were all under the same opus number ? Or the symphony, concerto etc were ?Comment

All these pieces referred to are under the same opus number, RMOriginally posted by Resurrection Man View Post
The reference to a disquisition is an exaggeration, a joke, a merriment, a moment of levity
Stick with a theme & variations, you're after the over-arching theme

Or have I been foiled? Couldn't possibly say on that sparse evidence, ferney? Care to unwrap it?

I was hoping that our resident Alkan-o-phile throppers was going to leap on this.
Be kind enough to offer us a B, ferney!

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

What C would appear to link an opera containing a chub and two cronies and a smith and his daughter, a British film about footwear (in translation) apparently, and an American fillum beloved of gay men, allegedly?
