Cryptic crossword No 235

This is a difficult grid for the setter, with six 3-letter words to clue; but you make a very good job of it. Some delightful clues in here, particular favourites being 1a, 31a, 32a, 33a, 10d, 20d. I enjoyed this more than the Everyman in today’s Observer. Thanks, Cinto

Thanks Cinto and welcome to the site! Lots of fun clues as Gollum says. I particularly like 5A, 11A, 12A, 15A and 23D. A couple of slightly spoilery niggles in the reply.

Some interesting ideas here, Cinto. 19d was my favourite, for its simple wordplay and amusing surface. And I don't know anything about Schönberg or Webern but I liked 29a too. The surface in 9a creates an intriguing mental image!
