      Well.... ok then!

      Solomon had a supernatural violinist among his servants. What's the common W?

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

                    Reckon that's a No, ams! (NB: mercs didn't turn down the idea of a beer or two... )

                    It's the Mazurkas I have on CD played by VP

                      Anyone fancy a clue before Tale of Two Cities on BBC4?

                      It all hinges on British composers

                        I've a couple of his Ravel CDs, also very qood - they were very cheap , I think from Works or similar!

                        merc, are you sure about 6" discs?

                          William Walton, Song of Soloman and probably something connecting to RV Williams? Or not. William Mathias probably doesn't figure at all!! In fact, it's not Ower Willy and I'm off to bed.

                            Now. Anna has got the solution and one of the elements.

                            It is Yower Willy - William Mathias is one of the three. But which?

                            William Walton is not on the card. The "Solomon" composer is much longer ago.

                            But: yes, the W is William

                              I was working through William as an idea, then Mrs F pointed out the dirty dishes. Bloomin demarcation: "I did the cooking..."

                              She doesn't understand important things like AA.

                              Edward Solomon's last stage work was "On the March" (1896), a musical comedy in two acts, to a libretto by William Yardley et al. Mr Yardley was primarily a cricketer, but also an actor, playwright and drama critic (no demarcation disputes in those days!)
                              Pacta sunt servanda !!!

                                Solomon looks like the kind of guy who deliberately multi-tasks to get out of the washing up!

                                I suggest William Alwyn the Fairy Fiddler and William Baines Marionettes for violin and piano
