Well, I (Will) clicked on the wrong button, so you all got your dishy classical news early this week. Enjoy!

Różycki must be in the air! I just heard his name for the first time this week from a cellist who was playing a chamber work of his (perhaps this??).

As for the NTT: I would second Tamara's Dvořák (and the idea that the 19th century is the century being discussed here). I take almost no implication from Will's hint, as he would make a "case" for a good number of things. To the bucket containing Dvořák I will add Rimsky-Korsakov and Louis Moreau Gottschalk (a well known populist).

Hm. Must be 19th century, and something about it makes me think Czech. Dvorak or Smetana? If populist = nationalist, the clue fits.

Or, ha! Is "throw for a loop" a Jeopardy-style reference to the circus? Then it must be Fucik.
