        Exactamente!



        But the D , I think, goes to mercia who gave us Clemency Burton-Hill and Clementi. The Clementi piece is The Black Joke with 21 variations...

          oops, a combination of misunderstanding your clues and not finding the Black Joke there I think

          openers by Frank, Josef and Anton

              [I wish ... I've never had the chance to try a ch Climens. (Actually the bottle of ch Beychevelle 2002 which I took to the lunch was quite drinkable )]

                Gave my last bottle away before Christmas to a colleague who did my will gratis. I like a nice Beychevelle.

                Your question was a stinker, vindebordeaux, and mercia deserves a medal for finding a way in...
                "...the isle is full of noises,
                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  I agree. Here:

                        Should we be bird watching?

                        Dvorak's The Wood Dove (Overture)
                        Haydn's In Dove Grey mantle a Recit from The Seasons

                        ... err ...

                        and Frank Martin's recently discovered Dove Prelude?

                            that is what I mean by opener

                            not doves or devils I fear
                            yes provisionally to Dvorak
                            different Josef and Frank

                              no, we should be looking at the Devil:

                              Schubert Des Teufels Lustschloß (Google translates this a "The Devil's pleasure palace" )
                              Der krumme Teufel (The Lame Devil), Haydn's first opera
                              and Dvořák's The Devil and Kate (Čert a Káča)

                              Darnit and Drat it, just seen Mercia's reply.
