        sorry, rather misleading, I was wondering whether to say some translation would be necessary but I thought my AA compatriots would be clever enough to work that out

        and another thought - you may not consider the French one to be a ballet - call it an orchestral work

            Mother Goose by Ravel was originally for two pianos, then he orchestrated it and then reworked it into a ballet.

                        In view of my recent linguistic Faux pas, I shall set an H as my punishment.

                              Yes we are... so if you've been attentive to R3 in recent months....?

                                perhaps we're burning books at a certain temperature ?

                                (would anyone else like to take over from there ?)
