          The Moór Duplex Grand Piano was a fascinating two keyboard piano that enjoyed a certain notoriety in the interwar years. With 164 keys on two keyboards, it a...

              Ravel said that the Emánuel Moór Pianoforte produced the sounds he had really intended in some of his works, if only it had been possible to write them for two hands playing on a standard piano ,,,,,,,,,

                Anna - are you saying that that sentence doesn't quite make sense? - 'cos I agree! - I really don't know (tho' can sort-of guess) what the writer meant to say...
                I suppose it's along the lines of "he liked the sounds possible on the Moór piano - but sadly cdn't reproduce them on a normal piano with two hands" - do you think?

                    N is more difficult than I expected! The best I can do:

                    A lusty monk composer
                    A serious friend of Elgar
                    A Foxy student of Arnie

                    all share which N?

                      Have we ever had 14 hours' silence before? Perhaps a nudge or two would be useful:

                      Chronologically, the lines should run 2, 1, 3.

                      And the first element should be A lusty Monk composer

                              Juss, I guess I could be - but I doubt it - unless some new men are involved in this question(?)

                                No.

                                All three elements "contain" the N. Synonyms for "serious" and "lusty" would be useful.
