So you have the D word. Can you figure the Eliza connection?

[mercia]

Can you figure the Eliza connection?

not so far. anything to do with My Fair Lady?
is that Calcutta thing right? it doesn't sound right

[Dave2002]

Definitely My Fair Lady!

[mercia]

Definitely My Fair Lady!

oh ok, must admit I'm not too familiar with MFL but apparently Eliza gets taken to the races and her new-found gentility slips and she shouts at a horse "Come on Dover, move yer bloomin' arse!"


any good?

[Dave2002]

mercia

You cracked it. I think the Calcutta reference is correct also.

[mercia]

are you sure?
I think either your questions are getting easier or I'm beginning to understand them better, anyway .........


an E to connect

a third ballade, a tentet and the Mayor of Chessy

[mercia]

oops, made a mistake with my question

not a third ballade but a third sonata

sorry

[Dave2002]

Emilie maybe?

[mercia]

not Emilie I'm afraid

[amateur51]

Or Euro perhaps?

Chessy is the location of EuroDisney

[mercia]

that's the right Chessy but my mayor was there before EuroDisney. He died and was buried there in 1926. (and taught my E)

Oh M Gedalge was Mayor of Chessy and he taught Enescu, mercia?

Enescu wrote Dixtuor, op. 14 (1906), for 2 flutes, oboe, English horn, 2 clarinets, 2 horns, and 2 bassoons.

Enescu also wrote a third violin sonata but I'm not sure if that's what you want, mercia?

EDIT: Here's the third movement of Enescu's third violin sonata - very lively

[mercia]

yeah, Enescu's the chap
I see now my question was ambiguous and vague, I was thinking of Ysaye's sonata dedicated to Enescu, one of Ysaye's six dedicated to various people
glad you got the Dixtuor for my tentet

Well done, your turn

Not without your considerable help, mercia
