Did any of these pieces inspire you while your were composing your entries?
Or perhaps you preferred something a bit more modern?

Given we had a super moon recently, it's perhaps appropriate that Debussy is the big Sheep here.
No love for Offenbach, despite having arguably the most "French" instrumental piece (i.e. the Can-Can dance!)

After 9 questions, E.N. retains his lead and it's now a five-point advantage. Shane has crept up to second, with Witchy in third. Leggy has fallen back a bit after over-indulging on Proust.

The tightest round so far but Madame Curie just about comes out on top. If one person had changed their answer to Pasteur, we'd have had a tied-Sheep.
Marie Skłodowska, as I'm sure you all know, was Polish....but she did become a naturalised French citizen following her marriage to Pierre Curie. And besides; no wrong answers in Sheep!

12 down, 8 to go.
E.N. retains his lead but it's been shaved to two points following his Daft choice on the music round.
Shane holds onto second place despite losing a few points with Algeria.
A big gap back to Lorcan in third; is it a two-horse race to win?
Meanwhile Kol......yeah.

So let's see where his most well known victory lay instead?
