I have never heard this, but I will guess K, because "art" in German is Kunst. (I confess, I don't know if I am following the correct logic.)
Vitamin C. She no doubt was a big fan of Linus Pauling.

not freebies, but a question in which one has to be non-distracted by the fact I took a paragraph to write the first part.

b-flat is also known as "h" in German.
Which means the first bar:
B -way up to A - back down to C - and then a full tone down to B flat or H = BACH.
It is the kid with the hair indeed: "Vitamin C". And i dont remember which tune was borrowed, it might have been Pachelbel, or Fauré.
25-18 or something like.

I think that was a great Bach question, BTW, even if -- or because -- I missed it.

Maybe not Pachelbel (Tacobell) since his is usually BARF BARF BARF Canon in D. I played that so much I'd like to burn the music.
