Good evening, Anna, by the way!

Good evening to you too.
And, good night to you, you opportunistic toe poker!

[Nick Armstrong]

I would like to dip back...will try to set a Q (or are we allowed to skip to R?) later on this evening.

Go for it Rezza, after Parsifal...

[Resurrection Man]

Good evening, mes amis.

A Q please, to link a 20th century Italian composer, a 19th century Catalan composer and a 20th century Norwegian composer.

Good evening, mes amis.

A Q please, to link a 20th century Italian composer, a 19th century Catalan composer and a 20th century Norwegian composer.

Are each of these composers born entirely within their respective centuries, or predominantly? eg then Granados (1867 - 1916 ) would be classified as a 19thC Catalan composer?

A good question. The Norwegian and the Italian are both of the 20th century. The Catalan spans 19th and 20th but predominantly 19th.

Looks like either Isaac Albéniz or Enrique Granados

don't know how obscure the Catalan is - I can't immediately see a Q connected to Albeniz

[Flay]

No, I've a hunch it could be Philip Pedrell Sabaté

[mercia]

looks like the Italian and Catalan for book may start with Q

[Flay]

[Flay]

Maybe a work by Arne....

oh I get you

Arne Nordheim (20 June 1931 – 5 June 2010) Norwegian composer. Nordheim's spatial concerns, coupled with his focus on death and human suffering, are brought together in what is arguably his most famous work, "Epitaffio per orchestra e nastro magnetico" (1963). Written in memory of the Norwegian flautist Alf Andersen, who died that year at a very young age, the work incorporated Salvatore Quasimodo's poem Ed è sùbito sera.

Luigi Dallapiccola (1904 - 1975 ) fits the bill for a 20thC Italian composer I think. He set a number of Quasimodo's texts/translations.
