very little I can find out about BWV225, the motets date from 1726-7 when JS was in Leipzig
was it used in a film or something ?
I can link Chappell and Horovitz with the word wonderland
has am51 stopped playing this game ? if I offended him or anyone on one of the gay threads I apologise

A little time to cogitate on this now...
The above gentlemen both wrote 'accessible' jazzy bible pieces in the 1960s, sort of poor man's Technicolour Dreamcoat affairs I seem to remember, namely The Daniel Jazz and Captain Noah and his Floating Zoo... A memory is resurfacing of the short-trousered Caliban being compelled to take part in a performance of one or the other - the Chappell piece I think - and finding it a little naff
Already a stuck-up toffee-nosed elitist, see? 
Can't find any link with the Bach or - and I should know this - Little Dorrit at the moment. I agree with mercs, your 'autoclue' has rather muddied my water on that front !

I was just wondering, rather than the answer being overtly musical, whether a fictional creation might fit the bill?Comment

Are we talking, I wonder, about an Oxford "English" gentleman who is buried in Vienna, who knew Mrs (Phaidon Press) Horovitz and taught her son?Comment

We await anton's further advices... Seeing what stage of the week it is, he is no doubt attending to Mrs Gould's needs in Fenwick's
Welcome to these tortuous precincts of the Forum, ed
Not sure you've ventured down this far before?

I do believe we might be! At least, that's the answer I'm coming up with but from another direction, starting with Dorrit.Originally posted by edashtav View Post
Anton (who set the puzzle) is no doubt shopping in Fenwicks at the moment .... things are a bit slow generally here at the moment, please expound your theory if you wish - I'm not really playing, just passing through.
Edit: cross posted with Cali about anton's shopping habits!!Comment

Is your Dorrit on film, Anna: "Kleine"? (It's my missing link, I can't prove who composed its music, Anna !) . I'm a bit wobbly on the Bach but whether it sounded at the opening of a Theatre.Originally posted by Anna View PostI do believe we might be!

I think you should get the answer with Anna's help, and then set your début question You'd be allowed to kick off a new round with a bright shiny A question, should you wish, rather than faffing around at the ****-end of the alphabet!

Cripes edashtav, perhaps our paths have diverged! I was going on the preumption that said gent in question had a motor named for a Dickens character!Originally posted by edashtav View PostIs your Dorrit on film, Anna: "Kleine"?

As always, AA can be a parallel universe. In which I am sometimes a bit nebulous ....

Where is that anton bloke?!
There must be a summer sale on at Fenwick's, endless queues of punch-drunk shoppers at the tills!
