          Oh, wonderful!

          Tempting as it is to make a list of three of my own adolescent compositions (including a setting of the entire First Scene of Hamlet using nothing but diminished sevenths ) instead I offer:

          Ronnie, Pete and Art; what am I thinking?

                  Y'know when cloughie says "this will be a quick one" and three days later ... ?!

                  Well, the J is definitely yours (and with Nobbs on ), but Leonard Rossiter must be turning in his grave! A little more coleslaw requires first.

                    Iolanta : last opera of Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky ( libretto by Modest Tchaikovsky)

                    Iolanthe: opera Gilbert & Sullivan

                    The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin : written by David Nobbs who wanted Ronnie Barker to play the role of Perrin, whose middle name was Iolanthe because he was born during a performance of the Sullivan opera.

                    1 & 2 I knew, 3 was a search but jogged a memory.

                    May need a moment for a J !

                      I didn't know that bit about Ronnie Barker! My "Ronnie" was referring to Ronnie Hazlehurst, who wrote the Music for the TV series.

                      Take your time - it's been a bit of a rushed morning on AA!

                        "...the isle is full of noises,
                        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                          As Pete Townshend said in 'Substitute' The simple things you see are all complicated...

                              Sorry for the delay, hope it will be justified!

                                Janacek?

                                Kat'a is based on a play called The Storm, I know that much...

                                And House of the Dead was based on a Dostoevsky novel called Notes from the House of the Dead I think.
