Alphabet associations - I

[mercia]

what I really meant to ask was how did you get onto Glazunov at all?

anyway, I guess I should continue, uninterestingly



an I to connect

Perier, Kaito and the first Bayreuth Ring cycle

[Mr Pee]

Whenever I look at this thread I always feel totally inadequate. The only Perier that I know of is the fizzy water, with two Rs, and wasn't Kaito the Oriental gentleman who used to ambush Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther films??

First Bayreuth Ring cycle- now that I know about. Can't think what the I connection could be though- Bayreuth, Fizzy water, and the Pink Panther- nope, not a clue.

[mercia]

sorry to nitpick but I think that was Cato

this one's a goddess (but you'll have to be quick with certain players around today)

[rubbernecker]

an I to connect

Perier, Kaito and the first Bayreuth Ring cycle

Vincent d'Indy?

- Symphony on a French Mountain Air (Perrier and mountain spring?)
- Opera Fervaal features Kaito
- Attended first Ring at Bayreuth 1876

[mercia]

oh dear Mr Pee doesn't get a look in

rubbers

wiki spells Perier with one R (Americanism?) as a folk-song providing the main theme of the symphony

anyway well done

and no objections to d'Indy beginning with an I that was short and sweet ........... your turn again

[rubbernecker]

that was short and sweet ........... your turn again

I have a J ready but before I unleash it, can you point me to the list of updated answers in case it's been done already?

Most grateful.

A J to connect rags, ringing and remembrance

[rubbernecker]

Re. the updated answer list

Not that I'm picky, you understand, but for the sake of archiving accuracy I would observe the following:

We seem to be missing Enrico after Erwin;
and Hahn we've already had, so that should be a (2) after the first Hahn.

[mercia]

oh thanks, sorry, will amend

I'm only the deputy deputy archivist

[Dave2002]

having nightmares about Alexander and his rubber tube

how on earth did you get that?

"Writing about him in his memoirs, Shostakovich noted that Glazunov was able to remember every student's name, their career and compositions. He also wrote frankly, detailing not only the older man's strict teaching methods but also his addiction to vodka, which he drank surreptitiously through a rubber tube during lectures. Glazunov was also notorious in St. Petersburg for his all night drinking escapades with fellow composers."

Oh Dear. I have worried about this all day. Not that I am in any way veering towards the anal or obsessive but Enrico was definitely there in msg. 7235 and 7389. I can only assume he dropped off the radar along the way. Word can be a bit temperamental I think?

[rubbernecker]

Oh Dear. I have worried about this all day.

That's very sweet, but perhaps you need to get out more...?

Can any brave soul make any headway on the J? (That's not another clue, btw, but I'm willing to give one, if necessary)

Joplin

Nah, we had Joplin (I know, I set that one!) Rubbers don't do duplicates. He is strictly an original puzzle merchant.

And, in half an hour - it's The Apprentice!
