Don't think it's Liszt. Maybe it's Ernő Dohnányi?

'fraid to admit I don't know any Kurtag, my loss
an R to connect
- some bayonet-wielding dolls
- a sunken bell
- a Conner filmComment

Some bayonet-wielding dolls appear in Respighi's ballet La Boutique FantasqueOriginally posted by mercia View Post
(The Magic Toyshop)
La Campana sommersa (The Sunken Bell) is a four-act opera by Respighi
Respighi's Pini di Roma was used in Bruce Conner's film A Movie (1958)
So I reckon it's R for Respighi

a truly mind-stretching deduction worthy of Tintin himselfOriginally posted by amateur51 View PostSo I reckon it's R for Respighi
what if I said you were wrong
(no, you're right actually) well done
I won't be able to give my extra clue now (Brunswick Panatrope)
an S for youComment

I just wish that I had Tintin's hair - but I don't; I have access to google insteadOriginally posted by mercia View Post
What S connects
A performance of Schoenberg's 12-note Suite for septet Op 29 led from the keyboard at the Venice Biennale in 1937
A wartime performance of Mozart’s Mass in C major in the Australian bush
A greeting over the tannoy on arrival in Liverpool docks after the war that Dr Vaughan Williams wanted to see [S]
Publishing a facsimile copy of Webern‘s Op 27 variations, covered in Webern's additional markings, a document which is said to have prompted Pierre Boulez to reconsider his entire interpretative approach to Webern.Comment

Wow, reeling here on a flying visit...
Rather than Tintin, Ams you are turning into the Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of the AA thread - slaying champions with power and precision

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

well this appears to all refer to Peter Stadlen 1910-1996 who conducted that Venice performance from the keyboard (no mean feat apparently), heard that tannoy announcement and put together that bush performance. It is making fascinating reading from the bits of obituary I am finding. I haven't reached the Webern part yet.
EDIT and it was Stadlen's copy of the Webern.
was Mr Stadlen known to you am51? you obviously know his story.Last edited by mercia; 29-06-11, 18:37.Comment

Top Man, mercia!Originally posted by mercia View Post
It IS a fascinating story story, innit mercia - obviously a diamond geezer I wish had known him, rather than just known of him - the S came up and what passes for my mind went 'Peter Stadlen' and the rest is google and history!! 
Over to you for the T, young mercia
