Very cunning, Parsifal, very cunning!
OK, here are three connected quartets for you to puzzle out. Not sure how this will go – you could crack it in three minutes or it could last three days! We’ll see. Each quartet has a common word connection, and the three quartets are also linked.
Quartet 1
Grainger
Elgar
Reich
Varese
Quartet 2
Ives
Foulds
Fauré
Coates
Quartet 3
Koechlin
Ellington
Ippolitov-Ivanov
Bantock
Happy hunting!

Morning, IGI! I bet I must struggle here, but here's an answer to Q 1 (though I think the link is incorrect):
Grainger: Fantasy on 'Porgy & Bess'
Elgar: Pomp & Circumstance 1 (the US 'graduation song'?)
Reich: America
Varese: Ameriques

Not an American connection. The Elgar is quite obscure and may not be the best place to begin.

Good evening, Parsifal! Not a Persian connection, but the Koechlin in Quartet 3 is from Les Heures Persanes. |
