Likewise, Cali!

A Q where Adorno meets Sibelius' first conclusion,
shared by Kurtag and Gorecki (and another pair)
but reversed by Schnittke.

[Anna]

Returning from a shopping expedition and reading through the last pages quickly, that last one seems as unconnected as "Mornington Crescent"... I know I know, there's a musical comedy in the clue several pages back. I'd forgotten it.

But what care we? It's a sunny Sunday, I have lamb shanks slowly simmering, all's well in the world and the puzzle was solved. What more could you wish for? The problem is, Rumpole, you being of a legal persuasion, find it difficult when the evidence presented is slightly bent to fit the puzzle! :laugh

[mercia]

calabash will be dreaming of your shimmering shanks tonight, Anna

[amateur51]

calabash will be dreaming of your shimmering shanks tonight, Anna

Aaaah fine meaty thews?!

[Anna]

calabash will be dreaming of your shimmering shanks tonight, Anna

I said simmering, not shimmering! No, I don't think so, lamb shanks are too, too, totally, local gastropub, working class fare, for our Cali who is only used to fine dining with a drizzle of this and some air dried that topped with some poncey foam!

Good one!

I have one word for you: RISSOLES!!!

The only foam at Chateau Caliban is the frothed milk on the cappuccini

Nice try, but it doesn't begin with Q!

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Ferney's Q, which I am sure will not be easy!

As if!

Nice try, but it doesn't begin with Q!

Likewise, Cali!

A Q where Adorno meets Sibelius' first conclusion,
shared by Kurtag and Gorecki (and another pair)
but reversed by Schnittke.

A quasi-question, I think.

[Anna]

As in Kurtag's quasi una fantasia...

[subcontrabass]

As in Kurtag's quasi una fantasia...

And:

Theodor Adorno's book: Quasi una Fantasia

Sibelius, Symphony No 1, fourth movement: Quasi una Fantasia

Gorecki: Quasi una fantasia, Opus 64, string quartet

Schnittke: Sonata No. 2 for violin and piano "Quasi una Sonata"

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Well, that was quick!

No more needs to be added to Anna & subby's responses (except to add that the "other pair" were Beethoven's two Op 27 Sonatas).

Subby for R?

(PS: NB, Rissoles are off!
