Cool meta. I had the answer early on but didn't realize that it was the answer until google helped me out. A welcome chance to learn something about musical movements.

Quite a cool meta. As usual, in hindsight I feel like I should have seen it much faster than I did, but I'm still pretty happy to be #21. I initially got distracted by a seductive rabbit hole that led to a dead end, but then it snapped into place.

I like to be educated and this one taught me a few new things. Peter’s puzzles are always very enjoyable.

Finished! I think this might be the first MMMM I've solved after a few months of trying. Music after the mid-1850s or so is *not* my area of expertise.

This year’s streak is still going. Haven’t tried the mega or RH yet though.

I'm confident that I have the first couple of steps for the mega, but I can't seem to make the leap to an answer. So frustrating!

I am right there with you. Trying to make it count, but not yet all the way to bright.

Me three. But who's counting? Not me.. yet.

I was also stuck in limbo on this month’s meta, but managed to get out of it pretty quickly. But I really can’t figure out where to go next on the mega, though I feel like I’m agonizingly close. (Do we have a boat/shore-type metaphor for MMMM?)
Update: Post-enlightenment struck and I finally got the mega meta!

I am so lucky; the correct strategy was the first thing I thought of!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Got it!
I’ll probably always remember this one because I solved it on my phone while waiting over two hours in my car to be admitted to a Walk-in Clinic (they should change the name!) to have them tell me, “Yep, you broke the proximal bone in your left pinky finger” by taking a tumble while on my health walk this morning while away on a week’s vacation.
Argh!!!
No worries, really. It only hurts when I forget about it and grab at something with my left hand, and they don’t want me to have it reset for a week or more anyway.
Have fun, all!
