Ah! You get a different Klas of composer in Sweden.


Could be, 'tho'? Particularly popular with popes?

Yes, I tend to forget about popes.

The trouble is, I've been looking for Finnish Clarinet Concerti with fourth movements with "Urban" in the title, and Brazilian Urban Toccatas ... but ziltch! Is it an urban myth?

No most definitely not - they do exist, the naxos online search engine is most useful. What is a myth is that I know (of) the Brazilian. It's the Peurto Rican of whom I've heard.

(He was a student of Ligeti, not that that says anything, just that he was kicking around Europe for a while.)

[mercia]

I've found a clarinettist called Urban Claesson

fancy that !

[hedgehog]

P.S. The original trio (unlike Klas) used the word Urbana (what a missed opportunity to have a pope joke). So there is a Brazillian Toccata urbana.

There's an orchestral work called Tropicalia by Puerto Rican student of Ligeti, Roberto Sierra. Can't find any urban links, though!

... by Ricardo Tacuchian.

Except that he studied at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana?

That'll do, piece is called Memorias Tropicales (the tropical memories in my original text). First mvt is memoria urbana. You can unveil Klas if you like, or work a while on Various things.

Congratulations! Have a Virtual Easter egg on me!

Oh we have forgotten the Finn!

I'll provide the full coleslaw now:

I have a virtual tummy ache: too much chocolate.

Klas Torstensson wrote works called Urban Songs and Urban Solos.

A wise V chatted with Nathan Milstein and Joseph Brodsky (amongst others ); a double V is part of a twosome from the Venice of the North; the final V Caged the Prommers from Iceland.

Could it be Vladimir as in 1 Horowitz and 3 Ashkenazy. Is the Venice of the North St Petersburg?

Fagerlund doesn't even get a mention in Groves or the Oxford reference book.

And they also have Sierra as an American composer who studied in Puerto Rico !

Is the Venice of the North St Petersburg?

It is - and there is a Vladimir involved (the one from St Petersburg) - but the V isn't "Vladimir".

[vinteuil]

.

It is

... and I had just lined up all sorts of interesting Vecchias with links to Edinburgh, and to Milstein, and to Brodsky...

... but of course Embra is the Athens of the North, not the Venice of the North ! [:much missed DOH! emoticon :] [:too many glasses of meursault with easter lunch emoticon:]
