        Alan Arkin was Yossarian in Catch-22 and Dr Oatman in GPB
        not sure what or how much of Strauss's music is used in Catch-22

              I never knew that! (cue: vinsanto frisson and perhaps even a moue) - so former and latter are like like older and younger - only of two? So what should I have said: last?

              Anyway I see that if I failed to solve Y, I at least precipitated a solution...

                Great work by mercia - if I may assist (from the IMDB site):

                Music credit:

                "Also sprach Zarathustra"
                Written by Richard Strauss
                Conducted by Fritz Reiner
                (when Yossarian first sees Luciana)
                "...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..."

                      I'm afraid to say Mr Zemlinsky does come into it {though he's not THE Z}

                      I am specifically here to unquiet your Sunday
