Now we have two quizzes simultaneously.
If Vivaldy is there it must something to do with Spring or something?

I was thinking of Mozart: A Musical Joke, and Kabalevsky: The Comedians. But Dvorak and Vivaldi aren't that funny, are they?

Jonathan, is there a geographical connection?
Mozart – Symphony No.38 ‘Prague’
Vivaldi - Dixit Dominus - Psalm 110 ‘of Prague’
Dvorak – Prague Waltzes
Kabelevsky – Piano Concerto No.4 ‘Prague’

And Mozart wrote a song about spring: the first of a set of three for children he wrote in 1791 and which starts the same way as the last movement of his last piano concerto.

Yes, the Mozart is:
Sehnsucht nach dem Fruhling, K 596
I'm struggling with Dvorak though....

Bad news Jonathan, we even succeeded with a Spring connection, the last one being: Dvorak: Op. 82/B 157: no 3, Spring-Tide  |

Thanks, Jonathan! Once I spotted that Kabalevsky wrote a piano concerto with the subtitle 'Prague', I realised I was on the right track. I'll add another composer to my latest puzzle, making a quintet: Bax Tchaikovsky Holst Shostakovich Rimsky-Korsakov |

A quick Google gives:
The Golden Cloud did Sleep
and
Golden Slippers
I don't know the first but is the second one the one that goes: "Oh dem golden slippers, Oh dem golden slippers..."?

That will do very nicely, Tony. Congratulations on winning the Golden Waffle for spotting the golden connection!  I had a different Tchaikovsky song, On the golden cornfields op.57 No.2, but yours is just as good. Bax – Golden Eagle Holst – The Golden GooseTchaikovsky - On the golden cornfieldsRimsky-Korsakov – The Golden CockerelShostakovich – The Golden Age |

IGI doesn't get a chance to 'have a go', as he's the one who usually sets puzzles, so here's one from me (which IGI may well get in 5 minutes....)
Dvorak
Alyabiev
Tailleferre
Zemlinsky
Have fun!
