That "spoiler" clue is actually a cast of Chopin's left hand though.

Krakatoa event pretty famous... i should have stacked 'em upside down but then the Indian Ocean event was pretty famous too.. i thought as bookends they'd probably click. I never heard of the item 3 and 4 ones and will like to read up on them sometimes. I heard about Messina event in a novel I think.

Guns Germs Steel,,,,, no...

Nope

Actually, Russian, or, to be more precise, Soviet cars, but Eastern bloc is close enough.

In truth, I had debated leaving Lada out, and replacing it with something such as Zil, or Zaphorzhets, but, after some thought, I decided to include Lada in order to give some sort of clue as to what this was all about.

And, a further footnote, I have toy models of each of these cars, bought in open air markets, when I spent two years of my life in Tbilisi, Georgia. My colleagues bought toy tanks, but I purchased models of old Warsaw Pact era motor-cars.

OK the time has expired on my wayback puzzle.

Those dudes are among those (surprisingly many) composers who have written major piano works scored for left hand only.

Daron Hagen - Seven Last Words: Concerto for Piano Left Hand And Orchestra
Lukas Foss - Piano Concerto for the Left Hand
Ned Rorem - Piano Concerto for Left Hand and Orchestra
Sergei Prokofiev - Piano Concerto No. 4 in B-flat major for the left hand, Op. 53
Benjamin Britten - Diversions for Piano Left Hand and Orchestra, Op. 21
