    Just seen OFHs answer. Did music GCSE and I can't make the connection, although it was 24 years ago.

    No. I have a music background and hoped I might see something. Need more wine I think.

    How did having a music background help you get part a?

    No, something I saw on TV. Think that it said bombing London was not allowed to start with, but the coast was easy to get to.

    Tranquillo you might think that bit of coast was before the bombs.

    Nope.

    Well it could be I suppose, but it's not the answer I'm looking for

    Unfortunately HF, the only bit you have got right is that it is indeed a cracking piece of music

    Well, you did say beware the curse of wiki! I did not think that was the answer you were looking for... on the 3rd movement now. Pity I did not know of this last year I'd have added it to the pre-wedding chorus!

    It was the first Zeppelin, so it was the lead one. Remove the a from lead and you have Led Zeppelin.

    Think of a term that can be associated with music, but NOT just applied to music.


    An easier clue will be forthcoming if nobody gets it.
