    Don't just look, Don, dive in! We've all been away from this thread for far too long...

    At least give us an insight into your train of thought, which is above and beyond mine!

    EDIT: Perhaps you are referring to 'geliebte'? This would lead one to the Great Brian himself and Incipits for solo viola, obbligato percussion and six instruments (1996)

      ... two out of three (plus bonus point for the "Great Brian" comment!)

        Here's my train, with corridor connections: ferne-yhough-geliebte (ref: Beethoven Op.98).

          It's an excruciating pun, isn't it DP? It was either that or "Transit Van", but, whilst I don't mind being abbreviated to "ferney" .... !

            Ah, yes. I was forgetting Ferne meant distant. Yes Ferney, it is excruciating. As is your teasing question. I've been racking my brains, but, as Jade Goody once said, I ain't got much to rack. A prayer of adoration, perhaps?

              Exactly so, now go to the East.

                To Japan, perhaps, and to Karlheinz (not to be confused with Karl Heinz, bass player of the Telsats, who met a sticky end on the A303)

                    Guilty as charged. (Coughs discreetly: 'yhough, yhough').

                      I dunno, maybe all three works were recently performed at some achingly cool avant-garde festival beginning with I, this being the answer to the question?!

                        Simpler than that.

                          Maybe all three references start with 'In'? (Though what they might be is another matter. )

                            I think that might be it, Don. Trendy = In

                              (Clarification: Intollerenza 1960, Inori, Incipits. I'd love there to be an Inverness Contemporary Music Festival, though!)

                                Do you mean me? I'm not sure I could have solved it without the nudge from Don pointing to Ferneyhough.

                                As I won't be able to participate further tonight/tomorrow can I invite Don to set the J?
