I really liked this Mudd, also because I did finish it unaided (something that – believe it or not – doesn’t happen all too often).

Two remarks:
27 ac should be HABANERA, a dance made famous by Bizet’s opera Carmen. The goddess is Hera.
And 1d is not a double definition. It is DELI (shop) + VERY (really).

I know some rhyming slang (“apples and pears”) but have never come across “Brahms and Lizst”.

Thanks for the blog. I also found the north-west quadrant the trickiest.

Re 9 ac. this is a reference to the rhyming slang, “Brahms and Lizst” = pissed.
