Re: Musical puns, jokes, and teasers
Good try, but wrong nationality, and therefore wrong composer. Though your method on this one is correct - 'almost' tells you there is a spelling mistake to get the clue to work.fredbucket wrote:I'm not sure that you or I could float away on a Raff...rob wrote:Almost something you could float away on.

Re: Musical puns, jokes, and teasers
You didn't specify the nationality, and therefore my composer, since he fits the clue, is correct. Please adjust all of your other composers to fit the new nationality.rob wrote:Good try, but wrong nationality, and therefore wrong composer.

Re: Musical puns, jokes, and teasers
Well try another nationality and I'm sure you'll get it. All rhe composers are of the same nationality. No Swiss composers, no matter which of the four official languages they speak.fredbucket wrote:You didn't specify the nationality, and therefore my composer, since he fits the clue, is correct.

Re: Musical puns, jokes, and teasers
Rob's caught the bug...
His penultimate lot got dealt with so quickly that they were all done by the time I checked PP this morning. So let me jump in at once with the few from the latest set that I saw immediately:
2 = Grétry
7 = Chausson
13 = Roussel
We've established the nationality, at least!

Re: Musical puns, jokes, and teasers
This is what I've come up with so far. (The non-alphabetic
order of the answers makes it 26 times trickier!)
1. Lalo
6. Latour or Onslow? (both one letter too short)
9. Grovlez
11. Jadin
12. Ratez! (total stab in the dark)

Re: Musical puns, jokes, and teasers
Mostly good so far - and French. Apologies for the terrible liberties taken.
Jo's are correct
2 = Grétry
7 = Chausson
13 = Roussel
Three of Tim's are correct
1. Lalo
9. Grovlez
11. Jadin
But these are wrong - sorry, though I like Onslow as an answer.
6. Latour or Onslow? (both one letter too short)
12. Ratez! (total stab in the dark)
An additional clue for Tim for 6: "My old man said follow the van and don't..."
I really want Brian to get 12, but I can offer another clue if needed.

Re: Musical puns, jokes, and teasers
OK, let me forestall Tim on 6:
6 = Dallier (Nice hint, Rob!).
And 10 has just hit me between the eyes:
10 = Jolivet.
(No, I don't spend my time at work surfing the internet - or "cyberslacking", as I've seen it referred to. It's my lunch break.)

Re: Musical puns, jokes, and teasers
I feel that the answer to No.8 should be either Magnard or Grofé.

Re: Musical puns, jokes, and teasers
Jo's answers are again correct:
6 = Dallier
10 = Jolivet
No 6 was a terrible clue (sorry) - the word Dallier surely doesn't exist in English, but if it did it would either mean one who dallies, or it wold be the comparaitive adjective describing one who dallies.
Tim's "I feel that the answer to No.8 should be either Magnard or Grofe." is wrong, sorry. Nice try though. Hint: Start with the periodic table!
