This is from last week, was away in Greece so it never got posted. 16a A great work of literature in Latin.
(6,4) -a-n-s -p-s. Thought it might be Magnum Opus but doesn't fit with 6d. Start of a Hydyn symphony (8) I have written ' surprise' hence the s. Would it possibly be supreme?

'Magnum opus' is surely correct...

'Supreme' only has 7 letters...What letters do you have placed for 6d - where does the 'M' need to be?

8-letter Haydn symphonies (that I can find with a quick look!) that include an 'M' -

Military
Drumroll

(??)

The M is second to last of 8 letters. The S at the start is correct and so are the 2 rr's. Like you, I believe, Magnum opus has to be correct.
Question Author
Also the Surprise is Haydn symphony 94. Start is to surprise. Do you think the FT could have made a mistake.
Hi miss skippy - sorry for the delay, had to use the phone!

I too thought of the 'Surprise' = 'Start', & as I can't see a symphony to fit 'S_R_R_M_', then an FT slip-up is looking likely!

Someone cleverer than me may be able to tell you differently though...

Thanks anyway Lie in King, the answers will be in the FT on Monday, will be interesting to see.
