Eureka! 'Revealed' in a P which also links an English, a Dutch and an American composer (jazz).

I pop back to find the clues as cryptic as ever!

Is Eureka a sign of your excitement at providing another clue, or is it there for a reason? Perhaps "Revealed" is part of a title?

No Eureka is a way in to the P - albeit via a sideways path. Who said Eureka? 'Revealed' is not part of the title, but is pertinent to the word starting with P that is the title.

Researching all this has bagged me a new word: palimpsest.

Fortunately it is not an unwanted intrusion by an impotent parent , but

a manuscript page from a scroll or book from which the text has been scraped or washed off and which can be used again.

That is kind of you. I am sure that to some pentimento is as objectionable as portamento.

Perhaps you could start a new thread of interesting and unusual words?
