Falla

(homonym for 'fire', drink=water) (..er, I hope a question mark justifies a homonym - I'm only a very fringe and occasional crossworder.)

By the way your one for Elgar would have been good .. Lager lout composer (5)

I suppose you could do one here with a smiley (even if it weren't very good  Undecided) ..

Ollie, britten is correct. B rit ten.

Daniel, I hardly ever find myself in bottom moments except after onions.  Glad you didn't yet my full name....

Tchaikovsky's first backward - exclamation by representative and male child - it's 32 years before his famous work!

Now, which composers are an anagram of aside?
