Delia Reinhardt, hmm haven't been able to sniff out that Isabella yet, maybe someone else can?

Edit: Got it, she premiered the role of Isabella in Milhaud's Christopher Columbus.

Milk is not good for hedgehogs I've been told! I don't think there are any statistics on wine however


A man, a maid, and a Cuban dance are all what J?

To help things along:
The J is an English word so translations from Czech, Spanish and Russian will be needed.

Unusual notion of help.

I have some urgent knitting to attend to

Well it limits the composers quite a bit.....

Ok: A man in a chorus, a maid in a song, and a Cuban dance are all what J?

nr 2 Russian composer

so J is some English word, which when translated into Czech, Russian and Spanish features in the names of works concerning respectively a man, a maid and a dance by respectively Czech, Russian and Cuban composers

should I translate 'man in chorus' into Czech, 'maid song' into Russian, 'Cuban dance' into Spanish ?

[the surname of the man who invented the cha-cha-cha happens to begin with J but I guess that is completely irrelevant]

yes, but it should most often appear in English anyway.

should I translate 'man in chorus' into Czech, 'maid song' into Russian, 'Cuban dance' into Spanish ?

No.

[the surname of the man who invented the cha-cha-cha happens to begin with J but I guess that is completely irrelevant]

It is. The dance is one of a number of Cuban Dances, by a cuban composer.

[hedgehog]

should I translate 'Cuban dance' into Spanish ?

Correction: translating Cuban Dances will help you.

Danzas cubanos
Bailes cubanos

[hedgehog]

Danzas cubanos

Nearly. Spanish is similar to Italian with respect to adjectives & their endings....

No - it causes dreadful diar ... diohrrh ... dhia ... It gives them the shits. (As does cream with cats - so never put a cat in your scone.

If I understand correctly, we're looking for a word like "jolly" which features in the "czap vollissche" chorus in Smetacek's cantata "Mein elde papa ist ein Mülleimer Mann", the "веселый девушка" folksong from the Ukraine arranged by Ami Amievich Calibansky, and Heitor Aston-Villa's "danza alegre" from the "400 Piano Pieces" Op 98234?

YESSSSSS Milk is bad fhg, but what are you on Janecin, shostakinsky & a Cuban Don Quixote somewhat closer.

Ignacio Cervantes and his Six Cuban Dances from 1899, perchance?
