Oh yes... I could really use one now!

Is it my fault if some darned fool designs a keyboard that puts the "a" right next to the "s"?!

Curses! Done it again!!

I meant, of course, "the 's' right next to the'a'"!

Quite....

... but did you miss mercia's most recent and characteristically germane post?

Yes, I did!

Not sure how it works, but it does stop me from looking through the scores in search of Enharmonics any more!

EDIT: <doh> Lux facta est!

- more like a Rhinestone Cowboy!

Apologies: have to be out for a couple of hours (Honest!) - and I wouldn't've got close without merc's "nudge"!

[Nick Armstrong]

We badly need a professional goal-poacher (like me) to sidle up and get this (since I infer that mercs has the answer but is understandably disinclined to set another question having done many of late...)

I don't mind - I've thought of an F

E which links Mahler's 6th, Brahms's 4th and Bruch's Violin Concerto

respectively movements 1, 4 and 3 are marked to be played energetically
Mahler - energisch, Brahms & Bruch - allegro energico

Oh well done... Actually, I think the Mahler also has an Italian tempo indication - Allegro energico, ma non troppo.

I'd certainly got it in mind that the E is 'energico'

And the F is ...

... yours

[mercia]

and you gave us an energy hint in #32504
anyway ........


which F has given us

the Fall of Icarus, a skeletal A to Z, and 'suddenness'

I do try

oh yes I was looking at Mahler 1 <doh>

[Nick Armstrong]

oh yes I was looking at Mahler 1 <doh>

And I had totally overlooked that fact that Mahler 1 also has an energetic tempo marking in its 4th movement <doh>

You really want me to do one, dontcha, mercs!

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Very well, then:

La Chute d'Icare for clarinet & ensemble (1988)
Bone Alphabet for percussionist(1991)
Plotzlichkeit (= "suddenliness"?!) for orchestra (2006)

... but what has Andrew Lloyd-Banker got to do with F?
