      Brilliant! The cavalry have arrived - I had no clue about this one, Angle. A double-I, indeed...
      "...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..."

        Ah, the cavalry have indeed arrived. Well done, Angle! (although I wonder if you'd have got it as quickly had I not made that little crack in the wall with the extra clue....?)(or maybe with only a two minute delay, you had already solved it before...?)



        And so to J...

          I saw the I-I hint before I saw the I clue and I guessed :)

            What J is a work by

            an English composer of five symphonies,
            a European composer perhaps best-known for his study in locomotion,
            an seasonal Italian composer whose contemporaries thought of him rather as a violinist.

              What a wily opportunist, you are!

              And an equally swift setter, too...

                Bravo Angle!

                A great relief all round - much praise is due

                    You're a bit of the fast side tonight, Rubbernecker.

                    The K is yours whether or not you say more about the second composer and the basis of the clue.

                    Now I have to eat!

                      Well, we've already had Pacific 231 as a previous answer, as well as much huffing and chuffing between Anna and Caliban, so we are all familiar with the lure of the locomotive ...

                      I need to don L for Lycra, Don, before cycling home and turning my attentions to K. Please amuse yourselves until 10pm or thereabouts.

                        Thanks for that interesting snippet, Am51.

                        I do not Lebrecht Lebrecht very much and these days, pay little attention to his mouthings. His is always the negative face except when approaching self-advertisement. There must be better spokespeople, who actually like music.

                        But it is Friday evening. The week's work is done and it is almost ten, the time when Rubbernecker is due.

                          And here we are:

                          What K connects a songwriting pioneer, a pair of Nuremberg brothers, a door and a 1981 musical?

                            Could the door have a capital D?

                              Very good, anton
