Alphabet associations - I

[Nick Armstrong]

OK guys'n'gals... I be home I be, having had the B in my bonnet (aka cycling helmet) all the way home.

I have lost the capacity to judge if this is easy or difficult:

A Frenchman wrote one to another Frenchman who'd also written one, as had a Pole, whilst an Italian wrote three.

What 'B' is it?

[mercia]

I believe these to be Berceuses by respectively

Ravel (sur le nom de)
Faure, opus 16, for violin & piano
Chopin and
Busoni, opus 2, elegiaque, and a lullaby

apologies for lack of accents

Am I warm?

[Nick Armstrong]

Interesting Flay! I never thought I'd see "Scrubs" referenced here!

I think mercia will be tucked up in bed... there will be an early morning answer I suspect!

Stumped as to what the 2 remaining Coxes could be though....

[mercia]

Am I warm?

I'm afraid not. I should really have given the republic a capital R ............ ancient Greece ....... not musical ..........literary .......... philosophical ......

the birthday party was an antipodean ensemble
