well done

O-O-O-over to you

Not at all I spent ages with the Chopin Sonata!

[mercia]

the Chopin Sonata!

oops ........... naughty me

[antongould]

What O links a composer who instigated the first performance of one of RVW's most famous works and
A composer who had a score augmented by Maxwell Davies for the big screen and
The Bodyline Series?

[mercia]

I will look at this tomorrow ........ if it hasn't been solved by then

cheers ...............

[antongould]

And to you

[mercia]

well Bert Oldfield was a wicketkeeper injured during the Bodyline Series
I'm guessing Mike Oldfield might be the PMD link though I can't find any info.
can't seem to find an Oldfield/RVW connection anywhere
perhaps not Oldfield. Oval, O'Brien, Old Trafford.

[antongould]

Sadly no the names do not start with O the connection, hopefully, does!

[mercia]

oh, right, well PMD augmented Sandy Wilson's music for The Boy Friend?

[antongould]

He did indeed now you are running

[mercia]

a-ha, I think I may be after graduates of Oriel College, Oxford

well, well, well - Philip Napier Miles instigated the premiere of The Lark Ascending in a violin/piano reduction

and Pelham/Plum Warner was the tour manager for the Bodyline Series

[antongould]

[mercia]

a very nice O puzzler that was

at this rate we are going to finish the alphabet on our own

[antongould]

It would seem that way can we not get a message circulated that the sheep are long gone?
