              I didn't but that is what I meant when I said Sibelius

              Nice one, Mercia

              I didn't really want to have to take on a puzzle tonight but here is a P


              What P connects

              Rome 1800
              Paris 1830
              Florence 1299


              And if you don't solve that almost immediately .....

                Rome 1800 = Tosca

                Paris 1830 = La boheme

                Florence 1299 = Gianni Schicchi

                All composed by Puccini

                    A perfect answer.

                    Nice to hand Q or R to you, Am. It seems ages since ages since you set a puzzle.

                    You are not Miss Marple for nothing.

                      Okies ....

                      Ooops before I do set a Q, I guess I should look at previous Qs

                      Can anyone recall off-hand where the last complete alphabetical list is, please?

                        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                            & … The Pole’s = 4

                            & … The Hungarian’s = [many] + 1

                              Heavens above. They're still at it on R3. How much more is there to say about light music, and how much more to play?

                              Every time I switch over to R3 they're playing Puffing Billy yet again!
