Guardian Cryptic 24/3 (Paul)
5 Answers
Have solution in today's Guardian, but don't understand why the answer to "E 1" was EROICA. I get the "1" bit, as 1 down was SYMPHONY, but why "E"? Similarly, why was PASTORAL "O" and CHORAL "N"?

It looks like I'm trying to steal your thunder, but I've been away for a week and missed your MUCH EARLIER post. I agree with Green-eyed worm that Paul has a very tortuous mind...sometimes it's a question of making a guess at the answers and then working out the justification afterwards, which I think is what I did in this case. A week is a long time in crosswords!
