Forgive the slightly impolite setting of No.8, but I couldn't resist including it.

And it involves one of your favourite composers, too! Shame on you.

True! To be honest, at least 12 of the composers represented would be in my list of favourites.

Thanks for leaving me some to do Jo, but why pick on the odd numbers for yourself.... Ah! i see, Timtin has done another naughty in No.10, 22 letters to fit into spaces for 21.
Tim, is it 9,3,10 or 8,3,11??? or is there one letter too many and if so which one???
2. Wolfie & Jo
4. Robbie & Jo
6.Vinny & Gaetano (aka Jo)
8. Hube & Jo (real name Charles but called himself John)

cheers boys

Well spotted Brian! No.10 should read:-

Maniacal volcano dangles (8,3,11).

It is with rustic chivalry that I must confess to being one of the clowns!

Regards, Tim.

I think Cav & Pag says it all

I always enjoy looking for the deliberate mistake and can be quit unhappy when I don't find one haha!
nice qui

Thank you chaps for playing the game!

6. Bellini and Donizetti
7. Prokofiev and Shostakovich
8. Parry and Stanford
9. Chopin and Liszt
10. Mascagni and Leoncavallo.

This is another set to tackle, if you like.
10 titles of works by one particular composer.
What are they, and how might you link him to Tarzan?

1. Jolly rife brain (7,2,5) (Alternatively: Brian, Jo, lily ref)
2. Botch healer (3,8)
3. Room on menu (5,2,3)
4. Dear seen (8)
5. Prime sets (9)
6. Seeing pig (9)
7. Next we love (6,4)
8. Lay bull (7)
9. Rocky me (7)
10. Utopia slicer (7,5).

Hopefully, there are no spelling missed aches!

Hi Tim,
No spelling mistakes this time.
here are the answers
1. Jillian of berry
2. The bachelor
3. Mourn no Moe
4. Serenade
5. Peterisms
6. Piggesnie
7. Twelve Oxen
8. Lullaby
9. Mockery
10. Capriol suite

They are all by Philip Heseltine sometimes better known as Peter Warlock, Michael Heseltine the Tory heartthrob (for a while) was also know as Tarzan because of his dashing good looks, blonde mane and being so thick that he would have been better off swinging from the trees either with a giant creeper in his hand or around his neck. Damn I forgot he had a giant creeper hanging around his neck, it was his Permanent Secretary, Malc's boss in the Ministry of Almighty Cockups, superMAC.

Very good Brian! I left the most famous piece until last,
hoping to make things more difficult.

Theorem:- There's a link between composers whose
names began with G, S, or W and nutiness/insanity!

Proof:- It's furnished by the list below:-

Gesualdo, Grainger, Salieri, Schumann, Scriabin, Smetana,
Sorabji, Stockhausen, Stradella, Wagner, Warlock, Wolf.

QED.


On a different matter, but still in nonsense mode, here's
a loose end to tie up from a few months ago:-

I hope I don't get into hot water for saying it, but having been hit by the
bug German initiated, my cup is so full of admiration for Dunhill (died
Scunthorpe, 1946) that I have no time left to study the various hits of
Novello (died 15 miles south of the swanky town of Uckfield, 1951).

To celebrate St. George's Day, here's a spot of entente cordiale, comrades!

1.Egregious arc (7,5)
2.Viably like ram (4,9)
3.Use your lid (5,5)
4.Annex bolder radio (9,7)
5.Huge hang terror (6,8)
6.I accurse (5,3)
7.I am a lush druid (6,7)
8.Smoky mud grossest (6,10)
9.C-clef piano runs (7,7)
10.Risk kinky look - am savior (7,6-8)
11.Fear elite malingerer (8,11).

This is some party, with everyone mixed up and mixing perfectly! But who's who?
