                Blimey, mercia I thought we'd exhausted the supply of strange instruments beginning with O... ophicleides and ondes martenots notwithstanding, I believe we are plunging into the unfamiliar world of the

                ocarina !!

                Giuseppe Donati invented the modern version

                Nancy Rumbel likes a double, so I've heard http://www.ocarinamusic.net/links.html

                Ligeti's Piano Concerto includes an alto ocarina, and his violin concerto has a part for sopranino ocarina.

                anton, there is no doubt: this lawyer is living and learning today !!!

                      It's these cold evenings, you know...

                      What P links six of the best 1787-style, a coastal musical oasis and a theme which led to an offering.

                      All elements musical but the solution is not.

                        thought you'd like to know I'm getting nowhere with this
                        1787 has taken me unproductively to Mozart, the only coastal musical "oasis" I know (but not really) is Aldeburgh and I think Bach's Musical Offering may be a red herring.
                        Mozart wrote some Prussian quartets but only three and not in 1787

                            morning AG
                            do the Six German Dances K509 date from 1787? I can't find out.

                              Morning Mercia I fear my Wiki is broken or I have broken it - if I type in the Search say Haydn London it returns nothing - I shall have to retire!!!
