        Spot on

        Kalkbrenner, virtuosic arranger of the Beethoven symphonies for piano, dedicatee of the Chopin piano concerto No 1 and teacher of Marie Pleyel, earns you an L of a well-deserved next go !

          Thanking you for that all-clear, Cali

          An L to connect directly a were-wolf in another tongue with a dancing ghost and indirectly to equations about uniform turbulent liquids

                Loup-garou is a major lead

                let me check ... oh no, not as good as I'd hoped

                OK try Zelazowa Wola, written in memory of Chopin

                          Sergei Mikhailovich Lyapunov is the answer. He wrote a set of 12 Transcendental études in memory of Liszt; the first of his Op. 35 - Divertissements is entitled Loup-garou; and his brother Aleksander was a physicist and mathematician Lyapunov known for his development of the stability theory of a dynamical system, and sundry phenomena

                          Who wants an M then?

                                Good to have a much-missed "online diagnosis" from Dr Flay again!
