Я думаю что вы милый

Would that be Cherevichki, the opera?

It is also Russian for Slippers, nyem noshka.

The film Golden Slippers? Red Slippers? Ballet slippers?

Top stuff, RM Cherevichki (the Slippers) by Tchaikovsky it is and the Powell & Pressburger film is The Red Shoes.

Any chance of the third and last part, anyone?

Later: apparently not so I'll do the decent thing - it's The Wizard of Oz which features another pair of magic slippers, hence the expression Friend of Dorothy

Is the syphilitic composer Delius?

[Resurrection Man]

No it isn't.

[Resurrection Man]

I shall be away from the computer for the next couple of hours. Back soon.

[amateur51]

No it isn't.

Mozart, Beethoven, Paganini, Schubert, Schumann, Smetana?

Death?

Mozart, Beethoven, Paganini, Schubert, Schumann, Smetana?

Mozart? I thought he was sent packing by the same streptococcal infection (a hangover from the Scarlet Fever he contracted as a very young boy) that also killed Mahler. (Well, not exactly the same infection, obviously.)

Smetana wrote an opera called Dalibor.






Just thought I'd mention it.

I just copied that list from somewhere, ferney

[Resurrection Man]

Lavishly hard, this one!

[antongould]

Donizetti ?

[Resurrection Man]

No, sorry.

Something strange happened to my post above. I replied using my smart phone and thought I'd put in 'devilishly hard, this one'...I can't have got that many characters wrong! Maybe there is a filter in the forum.....we shall see....hitting Post Quick Reply now....

Nope...that's the trouble with smartphones. They think they know what you want to type and unless you are a bit on the ball, that is what comes out.

Bizarre...anyway, back to this little devil of a puzzle. Are any more extra clues needed? Time for sleep, methinks, early start tomorrow.

By the way, where's the Google-meister this evening ?
