It is a waltz, but not a peach one! What citrus fruit goes with oranges? Ring any bells?

That's the one! Have a  with your fruit salad! Prokofiev – The Love for Three OrangesJ. Strauss II – Where the Lemon Trees Blossom Bax - Apple-Blossom-Time Satie - Three pieces in the form of a PearThe Strauss is a pretty little waltz, recorded by Harnoncourt, Boskovsky and Mehta (at this year's New Year Concert) amongst others. I find a little Strauss (J) goes a long way, but this is one of my favourites. |

Let me throw in a quick trio:
Beethoven, Elgar, Saint-Saens
These three have something in common, but even so one is an odd man out.
No more composers to help!

Beethoven and Saint-Saëns both wrote five piano concertos and Elgar didn't?
Another possibility is that they all wrote orchestral romances, but the Beethoven (2) and Saint-Saëns were for violin and orchestra, the Elgar Romance is for bassoon and orchestra.
Is the connection linked to their compositions, rm?

IGI - no, not there yet!
Yes, the link is to do with their compositions - you just need to look sharp at what you have already written!

So is it something to do with the piano concertos then? Elgar left sketches for a piano concerto which have been turned into a performable work and it has been recorded by David Owen Norris. Didn't Beethoven transcribe his Violin Concerto to a piano concerto? I'm not aware of a missing Saint-Saëns concerto, although there are several concertante works, such as Africa, which I think is quite a fine piece.

It's not that they all wrote piano variations on a theme by Beethoven apart from Elgar?

Aha! They all wrote violin concertos catalogued Op.61!
Beethoven - Violin Concerto in D major Op.61
Elgar - Violin Concerto in B minor Op.61
Saint-Saëns - Violin Concerto No.3 in B minor Op.61
so the Beethoven could be the odd one out in terms of key, although both keys have two # in the key signature (hence rm's clue), or the Saint-Saëns because he wrote three violin concerti.

Hoping that my previous answer to rm's puzzle is correct (  ), here's another connection to spot: Offenbach Beethoven Chopin Liszt |

Offenbach: Barcarolle (HOFFMANN)
Chopin: Barcarolle Op. 60
Beethoven: ?
Liszt: ?

Not Barcarolles, but you have identified the correct Offenbach work! (i.e. The Tales of Hoffmann)

Just logged in to find IGI with the correct solution!!! Bravo! It's a weird coincidence isn't it - I was accompanying a student in the St-Saens last week and thought (as I looked at the cover) "Op 61 - sounds familiar!!!" |
