Listener Crossword No 4267 German Serial Composition By Quinapalus
42 Answers
Certainly this theme was something new to me, and I am not sure that I understand all of its nuances but have managed to complete the final grid even so. Some very deft touches in both the clues and the endgame. Some (pedants) may argue that Quinapalus has jumped the queue but that bit of research may well not have been available at the time he submitted the puzzle. Many thanks to Mr Q for a challenging work-out and for the education (which is surely why we all love these puzzles so?).

Agreed in a traditional twelve-tone note row no pitch would be repeated but the row in this piece also becomes a shorthand map of the entire work and so comes "home" at the end. I actually learnt this piece when I was a student so thought I was several steps ahead before I started but alas discovered that it was not that integral to the puzzle. Rather enjoyed the erasure instruction once I understood it
