Cracking the Clue: Composer ___ Carlo Menotti
This week’s crossword puzzle threw a curveball my way, leaving me scratching my head and muttering, “Who is this composer?” The clue?
“Composer ___ Carlo Menotti.”
I’ve encountered many a composer in my crossword journey, but this one had me stumped. Sure, I knew the name Menotti, but the first name was a complete blank. Did it start with an “A?” Maybe a “G?” Perhaps “L?”
Determined to crack this clue, I embarked on a quest. My trusty crossword dictionary offered no immediate solution. A quick Google search yielded a Wikipedia page on the composer, but the focus was on his operas, not his first name. Frustration began to set in.
But then, a glimmer of hope! I remembered a past crossword puzzle that featured another composer, one whose last name also ended in “ti.” Could there be a connection? This time, the crossword dictionary came through, revealing a pattern. It was a Eureka moment!
I’ve learned a valuable lesson today: Crossword puzzles are not just about finding the right answer, they’re also about learning something new. And this particular clue, while challenging, opened my eyes to a composer I never knew before.
So, what’s the answer? You’ll have to solve the puzzle yourself to find out! But rest assured, with a little bit of digging and maybe a sprinkle of luck, you’ll crack it too. Happy solving!
