thanks Elle; I have the answer to 15ac, Russian composer, as Tchaikovsky; however, I did think that the answer to 8d, 2 words 5,5 conjuror's incantation, a hocus pocus! do you have the answers?

Rachmaninov
and yes, hocus -pocus

ta very much; I checked Rachmaninov on-line and he had 12 letters in his name!!!

I've seen it spelt both with a 'v' and 'ff'! In this case, the 'v' spelling fits!

aka Rachmaninoff ;)
