    Prosit Neujahr ammy - give us something that one hopes won't be Frankly Wörsethan-Most

              A-ha! Sorry cloughie, didn't spot that.

              Has anyone, name beginning with P, used Finnegan's Wake for a composition?

                          This P was a composer, music philosopher and instrument creator. He was one of the first 20th-century composers to work extensively and systematically with microtonal scales.
