              Two days? Too hard? Too easy? Haven't a clue?
              For anyone remotely interested it's Scriabin.

              Anyone for T?

                  Anyone for T?

                  Had a couple of days permitting only momentary, and relatively brainless, visits to the Forum...

                  However, if it's T time, how about

                  A T to link Vladimir, Agamemnon and Saint John of Damascus

                    O you lightweights!!

                    Ferney left his I clue to 'mature' from December 2014 until it was finally answered in December 2015.

                    Just coz there ain't an immediate answer don't mean people ain't ponderin'

                      Too cryptic.

                      Hindsight suggests E = Ecstasy --> The Poem of Ecstasy

                      "and finally" = Armageddon --> Mysterium

                      5 ?

                        Perhaps - but then nobody asked for clues. I was thinking about Quintets for more than five players (there are composers hereabouts who produce such things, I believe ) - but didn't really have time to Associate with a "T" if I'd got antwhere near the correct answer, so put off making the suggestion ... and then forgot all about it!

                        5 ?
                        Five Symohonies, or just Three/Two and two/three "Poems", I presume.

                            ... Vladimir leads me to Estragon which is Tarragon, but I don't think that's helpful.
