Where on earth did you find out about her likes and dislikes - or the tiny symphony for that matter. I had a hunt and found nothing.....

In the Wiki article on her - Symphony 4 plus the Quotations bit. Has anyone sampled her limited output it sounds very interesting.Comment

What is the linking "V" between a poet who (for a while) had lesbian leanings, an allegedly murderous composer, and a fictional character who was a teenage bride and (briefly) widow?"...the isle is full of noises,

I'm assuming your poet with Lesbian leanings was a man...
Bit stuck on the fictional bride and widow tho'
[unless it be a character in a novel by Cinzia Giorgio - whose works are little known by me...

Too early for a clue I think...
You have the advantage of me in knowing of her(?) existence and novel-writing achievement, let alone anything more detailed...Originally posted by vinteuil View Post[unless it be a character in a novel by Cinzia Giorgio - whose works are little known by me... ]"...the isle is full of noises,

Anyway I seem to have followed the path of vint possibly via the only murderous composer I know of Gesualdo to Venosa and Horace and Cinzia Giorgio or whoever. So if by some small chance it is Venosa it's all the glory to vint.Comment

No, sorry. Remember, there is merely an allegation of murder... I think Gesualdo was actually guilty...Originally posted by antongould View Post
