Hmm. I'd have managed 1 out of 3 of the Ms too - though the Edward German one, I'm almost ashamed to say, rather than the Sullivan. I might have a root about for that to see if I can find it cheap or free somewhere!

It's sunny, doubly-windy but you're not at all put out, you're just daydreaming of a sea trip.. What's the common 'N' ?Originally posted by rubbernecker View Post"...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..."

You're on the right track Don! But these two are not part of it. Two down, three to go!Originally posted by Don Petter View Post

Well, two of his concerti were for Flute and Clarinet (doubly windy?).Originally posted by Caliban View Post
I have to go out now. We're getting good mileage out of Nielsen between us, anyway.

Well, at least try and do so with an N that didn't feature last time round...Originally posted by Caliban View Post

Oh really? That must have been during a phase when I was otherwise engaged. You know, back on planet Earth.Originally posted by rubbernecker View PostWell, at least try and do so with an N that didn't feature last time round...
Repetition is going to be an increasing factor as this thread continues, not everyone is going to have a compendious memory of previous answers like you rubbers.
As a matter of fact, there is surprisingly little of interest beginning with "N" in the musical sphere, I found. I toyed with two other options but the clues were too obscure I thought.
Oh well. Come on then, finish it off..."...the isle is full of noises,

You will be relieved to hear that I am neither choleric nor melancholic, but rather phlegmatic, sanguine and - dare I say it - expansive... (bang goes the next Neilsen "N" question )
Looks like Don has "O" - though it appears he has gone off to attend to real life..."...the isle is full of noises,

I'm back! (You call this a life?) At least none of your Neilsen clues overlapped mine from last time round.Originally posted by Caliban View PostIndeed!

I still think Pan and Syrinx (flute and reed) were as good an answer for doubly-windy as the real one.
But I'm not put out either, and it seems I've won by a majority, or maybe for not knowing when to give up, so wait a moment or two while I compose for your communal delectation ...Comment

You're right... is that what Pan & Syrinx is about? Not a piece I know.Originally posted by Don Petter View PostI'm back! (You call this a life?) At least none of your Neilsen clues overlapped mine from last time round.
