Don't blame you rubbers, terribly overrated and pvc is not my thing, really sticky without a load of talc! Not getting anywhere with Ofca's F, except Hamlet, "Frailty, thy name is woman" crops up. Hey Ho, offline now for a while.

A clue: any performance of the third work must, by definition, last exactly as long as any other performance. The Hamlet quote occurs very late in the play; it doesn't begin with 'F', but it does describe perfectly the said third composition, which does begin with the same 'F' as the other two.

"The rest is silence"?

Four Last Songs?

[vinteuil]

Four -

last songs

album leaves

and 33 secs

[Norfolk Born]

Yes - which notorious composition might this describe?

[Norfolk Born]

Vinteuil is right with the Strauss and the Cage. For the second piece, think of another way of describing, say, an A5 pad used by a police officer during an interview.

[vinteuil]

oh - i was thinking of Grieg op 28....

Have to think again...

[Norfolk Born]

I see where you're coming from, but I think my answer more closely answers the question. And I think you should set 'G' anyway. Would you like me to reveal the third work EDIT: now, or wait until after Corrie (21.00) when you've had more time to think about it?

[Norfolk Born]

Back at 2100. Thus far we have:
(a) Richard Strauss - Four Last Songs
(c) John Cage - Four Minutes Thirty-Three Seconds
Missing (b): Four.......?

Isn't Vinteuil correct with his album leaves? (Grieg Op.28). Thinking of loose leaf notebooks...

[vinteuil]

I. And I think you should set 'G' anyway. Would you like me to reveal the third work EDIT: now, or wait until after Corrie (21.00) when you've had more time to think about it?

our telly schedules don't coincide - after supper I shall be glued to 'The Mentalist' (starts 21:00...)

I don't think I'm going to get your second element - praps someone else will - but otherwise you had better put us out of our misery...

Shall I give you a G?

"What G links Strauss with two far-off Russians?"

Back, briefly. No-one commented on my news that a former East Enders star is to be next landlady of the Rovers in Corrie? I thought it may have caused a stir. Oh well, as you were.
