There is certainly an Italian name connected with musical notation (from many centuries ago) filling one down column, I haven't worked out all the notes yet though.
I always used to think that Grieg was an archetypical Norwegian name, but actually it derives from his Scottish great-grandfather, who was called Greig.
Jogamel, thanks for the vote of confidence - but I'm no expert. I finished the grid on Saturday but couldn't see what highlighting was required. I was going to have another bash on Sunday - but foolishly put the paper in the recycling bag and my kind son took it away first thing on Sunday morning.
Jogamel, while you drew my attention to the relevance of the Scandinavian composer, I think it's MrMournful who's correctly identified the name to be highlighted, in the next column.
begemot, the name is contained wholly starting at 4d. It consists of 3 words.
Am stuck on 37a. Have RO?T. any help please.
Newbie on here so Hi to all.
