Exactly! Hence really good to have new minds like Hoggers and Odders around.
Are you feeling better, Anna?

Fighting fit again Cali, haven't coughed or ached (except for you, of course!) all day!
Adventures in a Perambulator? I thought the pram might be Satie (or was I getting babies confused with lobsters? A common mistake, both are pink and squggly) So, that's by someone completely different, John Alden Carpenter

Yes Anna, glad to see you are up and about!

" Adventures in a perambulator " is on a Naxos recording. Disney was going to use it as a sequel to Fantasia, but it didn't happen. This fellow was well known in his day - the only American to be commissioned by Diaghalev (sp?). The music itself is more "light Classics", but that was a type of thing then, like the piece with the typewriter and Rio Grande et al?

Please excuse me on the coleslaw summary, i've cut my hand badly and it needs some attention (professional I think) I think Caliban takes the Line Honours?

Surely "Adventures of a Dentist" should be "'ave dentures"?

i've cut my hand badly and it needs some attention (professional I think)

oh dear, and you've been dealing with us

you should have said hurry and be attended to

Ouch! Good luck with that, joggers - and good puzzle!

Oh crikey!! A glancing blow from ferney's razor-sharp wit?

Hope you weren't slicing cabbage for the coleslaw! Hurry, get it seen to !!

I think Caliban takes the Line Honours?

Oh crikey!! I'll mix the coleslaw but I think ferney cleared the way, and first uttered the A-word... and Anna, how about celebrating your return to health with an Ibuprofen-powered puzzle?

What A links music at the dentist’s, a Hungarian’s double attempt at this and life as seen from a pram?

So we have:

Alfred Schnittke (November 24, 1934 – August 3, 1998) - soundtrack for Adventures of a Dentist directed by Elem Klimov (1965, material reused in Suite in the Old Style)

György Ligeti (May 28, 1923 – June 12, 2006) - Aventures and Nouvelles Aventures for three singers and instrumental septet (to a text semantically without meaning by Ligeti)

John Alden Carpenter (February 28, 1876 - April 26, 1951) - 1914 orchestral suite Adventures in a Perambulator.

Jolly good summary Cali!
Now, are you going to launch us into An Awfully Big Adventure?
I nearly said Julian and George!

Don't you want to give us a B in our bonnets (windmills or no windmills, throwing over, for the use of)?

UPDATE: going offline for an hour or so. I have a modest B up my sleeve in the event that neither Anna (go on - please! ) nor ferney whips up something intriguing in the meantime...

What news of hodge's paw?

What news of hodge's paw?

Meantime, silence too from the hills of the West and North, so here's a little B which I hope won't be a total B to solve...

... linking Johann, Alexander and Sergei

(Yup it's one of those annoying Christian name puzzles )

Sergei Rachmaninov and Alexander Siloti were both notable transcribers of works by Johann S Bach

All three off target, I'm afraid!

If I may use the Cloughie-response, (where is the dear boy?) you mean 'not the words on the card'

Yes what is Cloughie up to?!

Well... yes, at the very least, not what's on the card...

You're looking for two composers and an author to lead you to a B who is neither
