I thought that it was a fairly poor batch of clues. Very few showed any degree of ingenuity or wit. Defining the composer rather than the country was promising, though most sounded a bit contrived. I discounted any clue that clued LAND as a discrete element. Such an obvious and dull breakdown of a word into syllabic or semantic components rarely holds interest.
I placed 17,37, 44 and 58at the top of my list because they demonstrated some originality and the surface readings were natural and coherent. |
