          No, a red herring. Cloughie mentioned "Gnossienne." Wiki says it "was a word that did not exist before Satie used it as a title for a composition. The word appears to be derived from "gnosis"...." etc

          (So yes, it is Erik Satie in the clue)

              Erik did, probably Fred & Claude too.
              The G is a concept.

                I meant to say humblest apologies about the delay before I posted my G.

                Now I can say say humblest apologies about my G

                  I thought you were just using an "all purpose" tactic perfected down the years in relation to Mrs. Flay. (Get your apology in first, sort of thing )

                      Pushed the boat out then, Flay? Hope they were wrapped nicely at least...

                            So a G (concept) engaged in by Satie, Debussy and Chopin...

                            Having some trouble with this (not helped by an INSANELY slow internet connection at the orifice ), and have to do some work now... Shall continue to cogitate.

                              Find me an G please: Erik did, probably Fred & Claude too.
                              ... is there any significance in the fact that Flay asks us to delve for "an G"???

                                if we are dealing with Satie, Chopin and Debussy I feel it must be something to do with the piano
