Anyway, just to tidy things up, everything was correct with the exception
of No.10, for which the intended answer was Mahler (marl her).
Thanks again to everyone who joined in.
In the new quiz, all are Austro-Hungarians perhaps?
5 Korngold
6 Fuchs
7 Wolf
13 Auer
Ah! Almost. I didn't intend the Hungarian bit - so 13 is incorrect, but only just...
Some are very easy I know.
All correct so far. Well done. Egghard rather amused me!
Yes, boundaries are a problem. Korngold - generally considered an Austrian, but yes, born in Brno. Quite right.
Just leaves:
8 Not a rural dweller (8)
9 Yaaaay! (4)
11 Before the despatcher (6)
13 Sixty minutes (5)
14 Black and naked (6)
All Austrian - but 14's name is not Germanic if that helps?
13 was almost right. 11 is given to you but with a little trimming.
8, 9, 11 and 13 are not that well known.
14 was an extremely studious composer.
