Will here. I'm 100% sure I know the composer, not from the clip, but from the clue, so I'll refrain!

NTT: Will encouraged us to guess, so here goes. Piano solo, likely unaccompanied. (Even though it was submitted by Clarinet Jeremy) I can't think of any Danish sculptors, let alone famous ones. And the only Danish conductor I can recall at the moment is Nielsen. I have no idea if he was married and whether or not his spouse was famous. But he's my final answer.

Joey's Rhapsody in Blue (reviewed previously) was fresh and fabulous, and it was such fun to play it with him. And I had the pleasure and privilege of playing Principal Horn on Will's Cassandra (reviewed this week).

As I predicted (you heard it here first, folks), the World Premiere was, indeed, epic! I agree with Joey that it deserves full Staging with Costumes and Sets. Plus Lights. Cameras. Action!

AND . . . a Trojan Horse!

Very occasionally, I do acknowledge music that is not clarinet-based.

Hard agree with Joey here….”Festus dies est” is incredibly hummable.
