    I'll accept the change of mood either in the original language or in the widely-used English translation.
    a sudden change of mood; Connected with Flamenco dancing
    and the windows to the soul Spanish proverb, windows of the soul being eyes.

      Spanish Eyes (written by Bert Kaempfert and originally entitled 'Moon Over Naples', name changed when lyrics added later by Eddie Snyder and Charles Singleton, most famous recording probably by Al Martino)
      Can you please explain the reference to flamenco?

        "...the isle is full of noises,
        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          Sorry - hadn't spotted that! Who's going to tidy up so that somebody - probably Cloughie - can serve T?

              Unless I've not being paying attention (always a possibility ) we haven't had the answer to the final part of the question, have we?

                Settle for that rarely-heard on R3 piece by R-K Capriccio Espagnole.
                and I still need to pass on T as I will be out.

                  Apologies, been tuning in and out and didn't see the answer but I guess Cloughie's got it: capricious... mood changes... etc etc.

                  I buy into the sarcasm of "rarely-heard on R3": I think I've opined before on the banality and regularity of that darned piece

                  I might be able to rustle up a T as Mr C is off singing... I got 1/4 of the elements, so have a toe-hold...

                    So a T then...

                    Gerald wrote singly about this T, Antoine and Jean-Joseph plurally, but all with Latin flair

                        Non monsieur... 'Tis the T that is plural. Only one J-J I'm afraid.

                        That is to say, one J-J M

                            Indeed it is not. The first of those Ms is the one to focus on to get to the T.

                                Nice associating, Don... mais non, désolé!

                                Retiring here. Let's see if the morning shift can bring us back down to earth.

                                Night folks.
