8d. Empty seat left by son (5) ??s?e. Rich47 suggested aisle but Palustris goes for issue. First letter depends whether 4a. is staccata (which I prefer) or stoccati. Rationale for answer appreciated. TIA. teebee

Hi teebee - what's the clue for 4a, please?

I can't find 'staccata' or 'stoccati' in Chambers or OED Online

4 across. This thrust renders point to a piece of music.(8) letters ?T?C>A??
8 Down Empty seat left by son. (5) letters ??S?E
The first letter of 8 down depends on the last letter of 4 across.

Thank you housemouse. I was using part of the question as an anagram but using the wrong letters.
Question Author
I should have written stoccata. Cle is This thrust renders point to a piece of musuc (8). S(outh) for bearing and toccata for music piece. Hope that helps. teebee
Thanks teebee. So 4 down must surely be aisle but cannot work out why?
Sorry, had to leave the PC...

Thanks all - teebee, sorry to be a pain, but are you certain of the 'S' ?

I can't parse 'aisle', but 'adDle' can mean empty - take s(on) from s(addle) (seat) (?)

Perhaps the clue for the 'S' answer...?
