[johnpiper]

Thanks re 36d

[Krypto]

Has anyone got 16a? I think it is *EED* and pretty sure the letters I have are correct, but can't work out what the full answer is!

[JJ109]

It is not "end zone" - it is "red zone"

That should then help you

[Neveracrossword]

Krypto... Nice to see you, to see you nice!

[Krypto]

Great, thanks JJ and NACW!

[solidair123]

I'm struggling with scorer beginning with z.
Is 42a "Tallis"?

[Neveracrossword]

Solidair, there isn't a Z. It's referred to in the preamble, something about one at the beginning and one at the end.
Yes to Tallis.

[solidair123]

I see now! Thank you.

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Solidair, glad that helped. I don't have a copy to hand, so couldn't remember the details in the wording!

[Pianoman2003]

Yes, I got Khans, double meaning. Xenakis and Ysaye are little known scorers, but Widor is famous for his Toccata from the fifth symphony. The S wrote a lovely piece called The Crucifixion.
I am stuck on 29D and the scorer for 16A. I’ve probably put in some wronguns, though! Any thoughts?

[Pianoman2003]

Just read an earlier post and now have 16A. I also had End Zone!

[Pianoman2003]

Still stuck on 29D Female in play who conquers (7). I have *T*OP*R so far. Any thoughts?

[hankir]

29d. She S????S to conquer.

I am stuck on 11a and 2d.

11, Saw English animals (7)
2. Works up-river taking ages (6)

[Neveracrossword]

11Epigram, saw, saying, etc. E Pig Ram.

[hankir]

just got 11a.

[Neveracrossword]

2 Operas, works, musical works. Po, river, up = Op +Eras,ages.

[hankir]

got 2d also.
Now unclued at 19a remains.
I have MARN?N?

[hankir]

My 15d was wrong. Sneak was incorrect.
All done.
