Yahoo!

That's the first time (and probably the last) that I got a whole one right!

I don't have a clue with this one. Unfortunately this is not the first time I have no clue what could possibly unite this composers. What does Tchaikovsky has in common with Villa-Lobos or Bax?  It is not a choral work for sure.
I don't know much about Lloyd Webber (William or otherwise). There are two brothers, one is a cellist and the other is a writer of musicals to which I never go. Tchaikovsky and Wagner both wrote operas.
Any ideas anyone?

I can't help thinking that W L-W's Frensham Pond for clarinet and piano must surely be the key.  Undecided

I don't know any Tchaikovsky piece that is written for clarinet and piano. Are there any arrangements?
There are good parts for clarinets in Tchaikovsky's symphonies, I am sure of that. (I can not any at the moment)
Wagner used clarinets I am sure of that. What about Villa Lobos or Bax? Did they write anything for clarinet?
I think Bax has some viola pieces that could be played on a clarinet.

Frensham Pond is an attractive miniature, isn't it? I also like the flute works Mulberry Cottage and The Gardens at Eastwell. But no, the WLW is one of his songs. The Wagner is operatic, but sometimes isn't... Wink

The only Tchaikovsky arrangement for clarinet I know is the Andante cantabile from the 1st String Quartet, which I played to my class once.

Tchaikovsky
Villa-Lobos
Bax
Lloyd Webber (William)
Wagner

Villa_Lobos has a trio for clarinet, voice and cello. It could be interesting to hear.

I think he wrote for piano as Tchaikovsky did. And I can see that he has Suite Infantil. Tchaikovsky also has an Album for children. Could this be the connection?

The Tchaikovsky is one of his many songs; the Villa-Lobos is on a much bigger scale!

Tchaikovsky has a Cradle song and Villa Lobos has a Berseuse. I don't think this is a connection.

Nope. Ollie's suggestion of Frensham Pond was the closest anyone's got so far, in an outdoors sort of a way...
