    Yes to Vivaldi, close with DSCH1... It's F major I was after. Think for which teenager, rather than by which teenager...

        It is F major
        Ooh, I say!! I got it right! Would the teenager be by our favourite composer, Tchaikovsky?

            Yup to both mercia!

            But G for you Anna!

            What was the Field prog like?

            PS To pull it together for ease of reference:

            Beethoven's Pastoral (and particularly its last movement, the Shepherd's Song of Thanksgiving after the storm), Haydn's "Dream" Quartet No. 40, Op. 50, No. 5, Shostakovich's 2nd Piano Concerto (for his 19 year old son Maxim) and "Autumn" from the Four Seasons, are all in F major

              No, not G for me, I only got the Pastoral, just a lucky guess, mercia has it (I will be offline shortly until late tomorrow) Sid Field programme was ok, not great, but I hadn't heard of him and no surviving footage to speak of so all heresay. Programme on later with Michael Grade about music hall, repeat, seen it, that's more interesting I think.

                why don't we wait till Anna returns
                we haven't had a lovely Anna question for such a long time


                as many as are of that opinion say "aye", to the contrary "noe" .. I think the ayes have it, the ayes have it ...............order! order!

                    I'll get to see the Sid Field programme a bit later but I offer up this slice of a Bob Monkhouse programme which contains a valuable glimpse of his style. Apols if it was used in the programme ...

                    1997 program about the history of camp humour. Presented by Bob Monkhouse, with Julian Clary, John Inman, Harry Enfield, Matthew Kelly, Paul Vaughan and Chri...

                      Aye'm inclined to agree. Anna went to the heart of the matter by rumbling the "F".

                        Are you sure it's me? I was just playing around, it's a long time since I had one of those special Toot-Toot moments with Caliban behind the engine shed!

                        It's a long time since I set one and I'll be offline in a minute until sometime after lunch, so here we go with something rather hastily cobbled together:

                        A tri-part puzzle, leading to one G word

                        I could put it in a nutshell
                        But perhaps we should walk in a certain manner while urging others to run while his headgear is right

                          well I can find a G to cover "in a nutshell" and "walk in a certain manner"
                          and a different G for "Victorian Valhalla"
                          but that's all so far
                          great question though

                            No idea of the answer, but love it !!

                              Aha! The nutshell, taken at face value, is a bit of a red herring, look inside!
                              The Railways or Valhalla, well go and ask Karl Marx or Joan Hunter Dunn.

                              It's tri-part but the trio lead to one G word, shared by the three.

                                so Percy Grainger is a red herring
                                but Highgate Cemetery and John Betjeman are not
                                I think
