Jazzgirl, I remember appoggiaturas and accacciaturas but nothing beginning with L .
I am stuck looking for the theme, although I have several of the clues that people have named. Is it literary?
I am nearly a world authority on Praying Mantises now, I've found what they eat (live prey including their sexual partners) how they can see in 3D and lots more. What I cannot find, however, is another name for them beginning with H!
Ah I've finally found it, thanks all (though I can't see what S.Africans have to do with it but one step at a time!) I suppose they came up in Grade 5 Music theory but that was over 60 years ago.
