Same here, I suspect, but feel free to drop a hint - or two - once the Six Nations excitement has died down. I doubt if Wales can do it, but let's hope today's third match provides a fitting finale to what's been a pretty exciting series of matches. -
No Anna - the E isn't "English" as such - although the third individual you're after was English but mainly worked and died in the US. The first two individuals were both German.
Only E2 was and is known solely as a composer, although E1 composed as well. E3 performed."...the isle is full of noises,

Another clue for the morning: re No 2, the key word is 'helm'... or rather, 'Helm'. That should allow you to get 2 and hence the rest, I would have thought."...the isle is full of noises,

apparently C P E Bach's compositions were catalogued by Mr Helm but I don't think that has anything to do with anythingOriginally posted by Caliban View PostComment

Hercule, you are wrong.... that it doesn't have anything to do with anything.Originally posted by hercule View Post
It has something to do with everything.
C P E Bach is the answer to the second limb of the question.
One down, two to go.

Are you saying that someone with an entry in the Hollywood Walk of Fame knew CPE Bach's father? - surely notComment

Indeed not. But look back at the clues I've given - there is another way No 3 could have been familiar with CPE Bach's dad.Originally posted by hercule View Post
And as for "something to do with everything": well if you look at your answer in post 3111, the solution to the whole thing is literally there before you!"...the isle is full of noises,

Emanuelle? :cool2: Manuel?
This is turning into one of those occasions on which I become more confused as more is (apparently) revealed. I dare say all will become clear....

No ... but I've just discovered that Helm's first name was Eugene...
EDIT: And Eugene Ormandy is the recipient of the Hollywood honour?
SECOND EDIT: Eugene d'Albert's opera 'Scirocco'?Last edited by Guest; 20-03-11, 12:01.Comment

We're not back with the Goossens, are we?
EDIT: Since I've no idea whether I'm even on the right track, and the sun has put in an appearance, I shall leave this matter in the more- than-capable hands of M.Poirot.Comment

Sorry to be causing headaches! And to have been offline for a couple of hours.
Yes, No 3 was English, but known for his performing work in the US. In the original question, I used the word 'stopping' deliberately. What instrument does that suggest?
Hercule, when you got CPE Bach, I thought initially that you were doing so well!!
(And yes, that's another clue!)
