Spurred on by Madame Antheil's ghostly presence on this thread (we expect and await her materialization here any time now) may we suggest for puzzle 75 the waltz Erinnerung an Covent-Garden (Recollection of Covent Garden) by Johann Strauss the Younger?


Very good, Mr Grew. It is indeed!

Mr. Baziron - evidently on form to-day - is quite right; the extract is from Brahms's Third String Quartet. What a magnificent experience it is for the viola player who plays it! We hope its audition will be revelatory to a Member or two who have hitherto avoided Brahms.

A**e! I KNOW what that is! I can even sing along to it! But the title and the composer are sadly absent from my (officially little) brain. Can I have the points anyway?

That is not the correct solution to the puzzle, rb. As a clue, it is not by Benjamin Britten.

As a further clue, there are only five of them, rather than six.

Puzzle 73 - Holst's Hammersmith Suite?

Is the correct answer, completing our journey on the Piccadilly Line:

Puzzle 73 = Holst - Hammersmith
Puzzle 74 = Satie - Le Piccadilly
Puzzle 75 = Johann Strauss II - Memories of Covent Garden

Is an incorrect answer I'm afraid, Bryn.
