      Thanks Flay! In fact I should have left out the composers completely: a T that is, bashful, proud, chronicled etc.....that would have kept people guessing

            Ursula Oppens performed Luto's PC in the Proms on 22nd August 1995
            Franziska Schäfer (presumably Bender-Schäfer) sang the part of Ursula in the Premiere of Strauss's Feuersnot in Dresden on 21st November 1901.

                  Which time zone do you live in, mercs?

                  This V was one of 51 but symphonically managed only 1, then for a time lay with Ludwig and Franz.

                    ...1 changed to "one" as he wasn't the first...
                    So V is a he... Is 51 a year? presumably if he preceded ?Beethoven and ?Liszt, 1751?

                    Am I warm or....
                    "...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..."

                      my very very own

                      the 51 all wrote variations on a waltz by Diabelli

                        Oh very good...

                        Shall I poach this one, mercs? Can that go down as a pass into the box... which I toe poke into Flay's net?

                        It's Jan Václav Voříšek who wrote the 50th of the Diabelli variations in the Vaterländischer Künstlerverein of which Ludwig's set formed the first part. Several Franz's chucked one in including Schubert, 12 year-old Liszt, Weiss and Weber.

                        Young Voříšek managed only one Symphony in D major, Op. 24, before sadly shuffling off at only 34.

                          Aha, pipped at the post I was about to put him up too. My line of detection went on the "once lay with Beethoven and Schubert", but in fact they both once lay with him at Währing cemetry, before their remains were moved to the Zentralfriedhof in Vienna!

                            Oh that's clever... Wondered what all that "getting laid" stuff was about. I knew about Schubert but...

                              I am most impressed by the collaborative coleslaw!

                              (But not impressed that I am currently awaiting the dentist's drill )
