Stuck. Silk hankerchiefs, seems women fought over Liszt's discarded ones .... Roman Carnival, too many composers to mention (or, is it related to a dance?), Blind Man's Bluff, Maxwell-Davies and Bizet. Is this another Cornish conundrum? Stuck. Fast.

There's probably dozens of us, chipping away silently.
I think I had a breakthrough, even before you put your last few words up:
Robert Schumann: Kinderszenen, Op. 15, No. 3 "Hasche-Mann" - the third 'Scene from Childhood' is commonly translated as 'Blind Man's Buff'...
PS Is there a song about silk handkerchiefs? And what about 'Carnaval' re the Roman Carnival??
Anyway I have found what could be the theme song of the AA thread:
R Schumann's "To Anna" (Liebes Mädchen! sahst du nicht)...!!!!Last edited by Nick Armstrong; 25-11-12, 15:32."...the isle is full of noises,

not the composer [or the translation] that's on the card unfortunately, but at least it eliminates one

Whoops, I thought it was a cloughie puzzle! Apologies mercia. So, possibly Strauss, not Schumann then? Forgive me if I bow out, I have no German ....

... sometimes, when I ponder on the denizens of the AA thread I am with Shakespeare -
"O, wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in't! "
And sometimes I am with TS Eliot :
"I had not thought death had undone so many"
[ ... si lunga tratta
di gente, ch' io non averei creduto
che morte tanta n' avesse disfatta."
Inferno III, 55-57. ] ]
