[Tapiola]

What F is common to certain specific but unspecified symphonic works by the following, but which remain out of the ordinary:

Tchaikovsky
Mahler
Berlioz
Beethoven
Saint-Saëns

Give full details


This should be quite a quick one, so someone or other had better be ready with a G

is this to do with funeral, funereal, funebre?

[Angle]

If there is a funerasl connection it isn't the one I had in mind, mercia. Much simpler than that.

[Angle]

Sorry, Tapiola. That last message should have been addressed to you.

I like the story about the wet stockings. Hell hath no fury ....., perhaps.



I wish there was a typing checker here somewhere.

[mercia]

specific but unspecified

that's rather enigmatic
I'm not quite sure what it means

[Caliban]

that's rather enigmatic
I'm not quite sure what it means

I agree mercia. Maybe it's meant to be cryptic rather than enigmatic, but I can't make head nor tail of what that phrase is getting at...

The 'Edit Post' button is a godsend, for those typos that jump out after you've posted your reply...

[amateur51]

Is the F 'finished'?

I'm new round here

[Caliban]

Is the F 'finished'?

I'm new round here

No it's not finished! I for one am stumped. Can you have your wicked way with it?

(Just this moment been enjoyed some leaden Celtic wit on the subject of the automobile!!! :doh

Welcome amateur!

You could be onto something here. Could the answer be "Finished [but by others]" I can think of Beethoven 10, Tchaikovsky 7, Mahler 10... As for SS and Berlioz...

[Caliban]

No it's not finished!

I'm a dummy, apologies am51! It's early, I'd just got up, my head was full of the Scottish car industry, mea culpa!! I thought you were asking if F had been completed :doh::doh: I didn't follow that it was a suggestion

But weren't they rather Unfinished pieces? Or maybe it's that they were Finished by someone else? Hmmm

Problem is, Angle never arises before noon, lucky fellow, so we will have to wait...
