    Who could blame him? (Now, what was the original question ... oh yes, the 'Teutonic Ws'...)

      Indeed! She's a peach. Though silly Peter ended up choosing the other one.

        Getting back to your question - is it something to do with Wales?

          Not directly to do with Wales.

          The lady named Amalie was involved in a premiere of something related to the answer.

          Wales might be related indirectly to another character in the production, though...

            Ooh, it's gone deathly quiet... maybe you are all down the pub this Friday afternoon.

            Another clue? The English version of the word beginning with "W" is the name of a film made in 2008. The English version of the word does not start with "W".

                For the "9" element, think sisters.

                  well then it perhaps might be Walküre...

                    Well done, vinteuil!

                    Can you elaborate on the other elements?

                      well - nine valkyries - Amelie Materna the first Brünnhilde - and 'death' : well the "Wal - küre" were the "choosers of the Fallen", picking up the dead heroes off the battlefield...

                        Superb!

                        Here is Amalie



                        Over to you, vinteuil, for the dubious honour of "X".

                          Or, if you wish to adopt my earlier suggestion, restart with A?

                            A far more civilised suggestion.

                              Poor old Zeisl and Zweers. They'll never get any welcome publicity.

                              [I'm quite happy for it to be A.]

                                .... and I've been waiting in the wings, poised to sweep in majestical with a stonker featuring Zemlinsky. Curse you rubbernecker!!

                                "...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..."
