This one's a bit complicated.

There are two answers in each case. What's in brackets gives a configuration which ought to help (though sometimes not much!) with the second answer.

I'll give an example:

"More light" (piano)
-- The answers are Goethe and Christopher Fox.

So, here goes:

(1) "Love is pleasure accompanied by the idea of an external cause" (string quartet)

(2) "I have no ideas, only obsessions" (ensemble)

(3) "when the panting stops [or doesn't stop, as the case may be]" (piano)

(4) "... somewhere becoming rain" (piano quartet)

Any takers? Wink

I think I've missed a rehearsal for this somewhere, and am left feeling more than averagely dim Sad

And I know number fouuuurrr (or I think I do).  Wink But just to clarify: we're guessing the source (or author) of the quotation in each case, plus the composer of a work to which it relates?

Something like that. But I wanted to leave it open(ish) in case any subsequent teasers I (or anyone else) might come up with don't fit the pattern. Wink

Come on then, Chafers. As much detail as you can muster for number 3.

martle - I thought you might know number 4. But I think Ron and Richard ought to be able to manage that one, too ...

(3) "when the panting stops [or doesn't stop, as the case may be]" (piano)

That must surely refer to Mr WH's when the panting STARTS. But for the specification of piano it could also refer to Member Barrett's Anatomy. So to speak.

The quotation being from Beckett's How It Is.
