    You'll need the original German title of this song, which is dedicated to something on which you could hear the other two pieces.
    I'lll pop back in half an hour or so, after lunch, hope that's OK!
    To The Little Wireless Set?

    He wants it in German!

      So it is a radio! And I've been chasing transvestities and goodness knows what Caliban's been chasing in his research ........ I'm off now, Wales are playing a friendly against the Barbarians. Good puzzle Northender.

          Excellent work, amateur51!
          Kurt Weill - Kleine Dreigroschenmusik - based on music from the Dreigroschenoper.
          Hanns Eisler -An meinen kleinen Radioapparat - which translates as 'To My Little Radio Set' (or tranny).
          You could use the tranny to listen to Mozart's 'Eine kleine Nachtmusik' as you settled down to listen to Brain of Britain on Radio 4.

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

                      Did anyone see that BBCTV programme about Smithfield? - like the previous programme about Billingsgate it was alarmingly masculine in an old-fashioned and unreconstructed way :shudder*

                        A search in Google seems to throw up a (not very famous ??? ) Belgian who seems to tick all the boxes. I will leave it for someone else to complete as I shall be away from keyboard for the next few hours not celebrating the Jubilee.
