Thanks John but you're giving me credit here where it is not due - I was referring to the composer not the place.

The glory all belongs to roslynmuse.

Ok, another Who?Where? although there are 2 Wheres, both residencies of one composer.

Your task, if you choose to accept it, is to find out the house number, street and city in both cases.

Well, the red-brick residence has a blue plaque, suggesting the UK.

The other one has overtones of the Bates Motel (or rather, Norman's mum's house) - US? Or is it a rather nice bit of Scandinavia?

Any chance the UK one is Bela Bartok at 7 Sydney Place SW7 ?

Not Bartok.

So let's add a What?  or 3 of them, little-known aspects of his work, to help identify the composer:

So, spinning wheel leads me to Dvorak ? The US connection is obvious and he also spent time being feted in London by the Philharmonic society.

Aha, Percy Grainger.

Oh, you want actual addresses! You play hard, Mr W. 

Well, Mr Google kindly tells me that the US one is 7 Cromwell Place, White Plains, New York.

And the London one, thanks to the Blue Plaque website, is 31 Kings Road, Chelsea.

At last, well done George.

I've been a few times to White Plains (just north of Bronx NYC) but didn't know about Percy Grainger's house till this week. Did he ever make recordings of his Free Machines?
