        Just thought of a Kwik'n'easy K

        A viola, a bass voice and a piano prize.

        Back in a couple of hours
        "...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..."

There's Robert Johnson, the Scottish Renaissance composer; Robert Johnson the English composer who worked with Shakespeare; Robert Sherlaw Johnson, the scholar, composer and bell-ringer; Robert Johnson the faustian Blues guitarist; Robert Johnson, the drummer in KC & the Sunshine Band; even "Robert Johnson", the song by Alexis Korner.

                      Apologies! Perhaps a crack at the puzzle might take your mind off the sense of injustice?

                      A viola, a bass voice and a piano prize.


                      The latter is from the Ferney/Flay part of the world...

                        Drat it - I was looking at Krzysztof Penderecki whose Kheruvimskaya pesn (Song of Cherubim) has a very low pedal F for the basses http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx3nzrmGXhw
                        He wrote some viola music and won plenty of prizes, but I don't think for the piano.

                        So we might be looking at the Leeds International Piano Competition???
                        Pacta sunt servanda !!!

                          Probably not, the only K I can find is Sunwook Kim, but that appears to be a dead end....


                          Mrs Flay accused me of fraud tonight. She said I'm not the man she married.

                          She also accused me of getting old

                              Oh no!

                              YES! I mean no... I mean it's not a dead end... Investigate the Kim connection further...
