        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          Good lord, Chausson's Op. 5 was called "Viviane" ... Is that it? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chausson-Sym.../dp/B001MVAIU8

          Can't get the operatic one!

          This is one of your trickier puzzles, mercs!

            With another variant spelling one finds Jennifer Vyvyan, who sang the role of "Mrs Julian" in the premiere of Britten's Owen Wingrave.

              Oh well played Sir, I imagine that must be it.

              Welcome back scb, you've been busy of late?

                Yes. The two weeks intensive work that I anticipated turned into two months work. Now back to normal.

                      Well Anna cracked it but is not around (I think); I got one but have to go to a meeting at 5...

                      Maybe scb would like to get his eye back in by rolling a gentle one down the wicket?


                      PS Very very good puzzle, btw!

                        Try this:

                        This W was established by sets of 9 and 24, and then neglected for about a hundred years. Opus 26 needed a conductor.

                          Seems to have gone very quiet. Three composers are involved. One wrote 9, one wrote 24, and one wrote a revolutionary Opus 26.

                            Don't worry, in this nice weather there are long quiet periods. I think last summer the entire thread shut down...

                            Got various things going on but on a quick shufti, the only idea I had being Waltz, the only Op 26 waltz I could find was Lanner's "The Good Old Days Waltz" - hardly revolutionary....

                            Back to the drawing board

                              Ravel - Glenn Gould - La valse (piano transcription)
                              http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS0i9aCGclc
                              Glenn Gould plays his transcription of Maurice Ravel's "La valse".


                              Op. 26? - but without a conductor this time

                                What an awesome thing! I've never heard it!

                                Don't think Ravel used opus numbers though...
