So, does the "at the table" bit refer to Tafelmusik or Musique de table for a French composer such as Delalande and his Symphonie de la Souper de la Roi? Suppertime?

[hedgehog]

Yes; I'm at that age, too.

Oh dear. However as Cleopatra would say when recalling her youth, when she "was green in judgement, cold in blood"?

Right title, wrong French composer!

Edit: answer was otherwise confusing.

No. I'd forget the cheese, it's a bit of a red herring

'Smoked salmon cheesecake', enjoyed by Michael Portillo in a programme this week? 'Flounder au gratin'? That's me, right now.

The last day of GMT until October. Lovely - and it's sunny and warmish in Liverpool. Things are looking up, except on the S front.

Angle, who is rarely perpendicular these days.

Parade began life as a work for piano.

Ballet Russe on Parade ?

I know some of Delalande's music, it's quite lovely. But soupers is not the answer as my now edited m#32343 does show.

A type of S is ubiquitous even on AA

Don't forget the other pieces: the ballet is also by a French composer and for the one about the piano that inspired all to dance, the cleopatra quote is really very helpful......

So, not so much Parade as Salade?

Correct! You'll be making the coleslaw?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Correct!

Oh, lor'! I'm not, am I? It was meant to be a joke!

You'll be making the coleslaw?

Hold on a minute, then - this is going to take a minute or two (together with the jettisoning of half-an-hour's research on "Scaramouche"!)

A Russian at the table and cheese before dessert

Manuel Rosenthal (before he met Maureen Lipman), Musique de la Table, second movement "Russian Salad" & ninth movement "Frommages du montagne" (presumably with a nod towards the eighth movement ["Salade de saison"], too).

a piano that inspires one to dance

Salad Days by Julian Slade (before he met Noddy Holder).

- or a ballet!

Great question, great deduction!

Hmm I was going by track numbers where mvt nr 7 is "salade de saison, frommages du montagne"

I guess that's salad followed by cheese, I thought it might have been a cheese salad

Salade op 83 by Milhaud was rewritten into Carnaval d'Aix btw. The piece was well received at the premiere but it seems a knife job was done on it by a ballerina.

Well done! Awaiting your Return!
