You're a fat lot of good!!



(Did the pint follow a Friday freebie at the old RAM? )

[mercia]

purely from a mathematical point of view

92% 20th century Hungarian.

I would say it has to be either Kurtag or Ligeti - no-one else fits as far as I can see

It most soitenly did!

Today was percussion

I think I may have suffered a fall of soot as a result

An account & observations may well follow, after I've had a snoozle

[hedgehog]

Well this is a barrel of laughs......

But Fernyhoughgeliebte, I'm shocked you mention Kurtág (yeah ), but omit well....., well...... was he a Fata Morgana? an Apparition to us all?


Ah mercia - crossposting - yes pursue that

[Nick Armstrong]

I was looking for a 19th/20th C percentage split. 20th/21st never occurred to me

Hasn't Ferney now given the A?

Ligeti's "Aventures" & companion piece "Nouvelles Aventures" presumably constitute the Hungarian element....?

Absolutely! Now translate Aventures into English and you'll be on your way (just google a bit with the A and dentists )

Just to explain my mysterious post Caliban, This website seems a bit "sticky" in that it does not update as frequently as it ought. I was very pleased with myself at working out the answer to hedgehog's clue, posted the answer, then saw that the gang had already killed and devoured the beast, just leaving nothing but dry bones.

Then I could not withdraw the post, so just stated "cancelled".

Oh how strange... Cross-posting can be a dilemma.

In fact you can delete a post, Odders - click on 'Edit' and you will see a 'Delete' button - then you have to repeat the command by putting a dot in the relevant circle, and clicking on 'Delete Post'

well done caliban

I therefore offer Alfred Schnittke's Adventures of a Dentist film soundtrack

[hedgehog]

Yes mercia! The 3rd shoudn't be too difficult now surely?

Oddball: glad to see you're still around, so please don't just delete, I for one like to know that there are a few others out there, I'm often just about to write an answer to find that somebody else had posted first, for whatever reason1

Nice one mercs.... I googled for 5 minutes solid without finding that....

Nursery and Adventures only give me addresses for kindergartens... You'll get me arrested, hedgy!!

I came to the puzzle late, I was thinking Ligeti's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (which he thought about but didn't do, obviously) but found no dentistry therein (although Ravens and writing desks could yield some good lines) Funny how different minds work differently, innit?

?????? probably not

I thought I'd posted, but it didn't come up!

Oh Dear caliban, I assure you I wasn't soliciting!

Pram is short for ? Try that with Adventures.

The composer is obscure, though in his time well known it seems. Interesting that...

Exactly! Hence really good to have new minds like Hoggers and Odders around.

Are you feeling better, Anna?
