That's Music To My Ears!

 

Welcome to the 'That's Music to my Ears' series, 45 caches to test your musical knowledge. The cache is NOT at the published coordinates; you will have to solve the puzzle below to get the correct ones.

 

The puzzles all vary in difficulty and include multiple different puzzle types in order to keep you on your toes. Most of the hides are relatively simple, there may be a few more challenging ones, but this will be mentioned on the specific cache page. The walk itself is around 7 miles and shouldn't take more than 4/5 hours. When I set the caches, there weren't any muddy sections, but I can imagine there is potential for mud so come prepared! There are no stiles to climb over, nor any fields with cattle which need to be crossed. There are a few other caches which can be picked up enroute, so do make sure to plan ahead if you're hoping to collect those as well!

I don't mind if you carry spare logbooks with you and one needs replacing, but do mention it in your online log so that I can do the necessary checks when I do a maintenance run. 

 

PARKING: There are coordinates for handy parking near to the beginning of the circuit in the geochecker for this puzzle.

 

To the puzzle:

For the first cache, I'll make it easy. You'll need to identify the composer shown below

 

Take his date of birth, ABCD, and apply to the following formula to find the cache:

N52 A(C-A).(B+A+A)BD

W000 (C-C)(D/3).D(C-A-A)(B-C)
