This is her second inquisitor I believe (unless I missed some). Both have been excellent; solvable but enough of a challenge. We look forward to more!

And for 10a, I thought this was ‘heartless’ FIGHT RE (=dispute about) since, for the purist, H is the abbreviation for “hearts”, not “heart” (cf. 22d, with C for “clubs”).

I thoroughly enjoyed this puzzle when I first solved it. I hope to see more of Nutmeg’s puzzles – she can strike the optimum level of difficulty for an Inquisitor.

BTW, I see from the proof that someone called Jake from Mitcham, Surrey has landed some champers for this puzzle…

That is why “death” gave the maiden so quickly. I was expecting an opera, but apart from “Amahl and the Night Visitors” and “The Old Maid and the Thief” there aren’t any!

On reading the preamble, I guessed that we were looking for a “symphony” and fully expected the unclued work to be BEAUTY and the BEAST. HERLING wanted to be HERRING for so long that it misled me for a while. I think, after a shaky start, I managed to polish it off in about 2 hours.

I saw the title “T” as T(itle) … i.e. “unfinished” but I quite like Ba’s idea now that I see it.
