      We met as soulmates on Parris Island....
      EDIT: I shall leave it to mercia to give you the name of the third city (which he will certainly have had no trouble finding) and suggest he set a 'K'.

              Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
              Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
              Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                          Like a good scientist or policeman, it would be good if you could present your evidence re the Hungarian pianist and the unmelancholy Dane, svp

                              All the relevant information is in Wikipedia. Specifically his pupils included Ervin Nyíregyházi and Victor Borge.
