Radler has produced a fine crossword in memory of his mother Anne. There are lots of violin and violin music related clues throughout the puzzle. It holds together very nicely and is not too stretching. Personally, I think it is his best crossword to date. A few minor quibbles do not detract from an enjoyable crossword. Many thanks to Radler for entertaining us this week.

Welcome to the seventeenth in our series of weekly puzzles.
Radler has dedicated this puzzle to his mother, who sadly passed away recently. Although it contains family references, the only information that you need is provided with the puzzle.
Firstly a big thank you to Big Dave for allowing me to publish the COW analysis on his site. I had big problems trying to post this directly, and calculate that I would have had to break it down to about 40-50 separate posts.

A few hints to get you started.
Don’t forget that you can give your assessment of the puzzle. Five stars if you thought it was great, one if you hated it, four, three or two if it was somewhere in between.
As is usual for the weekend prize crosswords, I will select a few of the better clues and provide hints for them. A full review of this puzzle will be published on Thursday, 10th June.
