Flummoxed with the last couple.

45a. What's very typical with British leading author (6) ?R?C?T

Thanks in anticipation

27 Maestros, orchestral conductors.
45 Brecht, author. BR/British +Echt, very typical.

Thanks Malone, really should have got MAESTROS.

Had BRECHT but couldn't parse it. Haven't come across ECHT before.

Cheers
