Alphabet associations - I

Your turn for an E, if anyone else is interested ... ?

An easy (?) E, omitting all the more obscure references, to link Theocritus, Virgil, Franck, Liszt, Dvorak, and Wellesz.

No; perhaps I should've included a sausage association

I do apologise, but a little prick with a fork can make or mar a meal it seems! And vints started it!

If the worst comes to the worst, you can always ask him to leave....

I assume Finzi could have been in there too?

(Apologies for not applying myself to Saturday's tests... it's turned into a work weekend so the braincells - struggling anyway after a busy week - are up against it already!)

I assume Finzi could have been in there too?

Yes, and various others. The more obscure ones that I omitted were Tomášek (who appears to have been the first to use the term for a piano piece in 1807) and Vítězslav Novák.

Strictly speaking, fhg got to "eclogues" before you, but since he and I seem to have been keeping the main line of this thread alive today on our own I am sure he will be happy to let you continue with an F.

AH! I only just got what he was going on about clogs for!

Well, he didn't spell Eclogue right so F-F-F-F-Forfeits the F...

He and others ought to get this in a trice:

What F connects Richard Strauss, Carl Nielsen and T.S. Eliot ?
