Very impressive indeed! I thought we were all beaten! (Well, I was!) Now, I'll remind you of my puzzle....a bit simpler, I'll admit, but I think it might fox you for a while! Elgar Walton Rameau Schubert Four stars, Ollie...when did that happen, 250? |

I got the fourth star from somehow blundering through Ian's hints and frantic Googling...  No, 250 it was indeed. |

A tentative stab:
Elgar: King Olaf
Rameau: Inexorable Roi
Walton: King Herod and the Cock
Schubert: Erlkonig

A fair stab, but nothing 'kingly' doing here. Clue: The Schubert isn't a song...that should rule out a few hundred options! Here's an extra composer too: Elgar Walton Rameau Schubert Berlioz The link may be tricky, initially, but most of the pieces are very well known... |

Does the link emanate from titles and/or subheadings of individual parts, or from other aspects of the works in question? |

Months are not the connection, but although May doesn't appear, another month does...twice!

In four cases, so far, entirely from work titles. The fifth is a well known excerpt from a larger work. |

Together with Schubert's opera Des Teufels Lustschloss?

Sorry Mark, modified the Rameau. Still groping in the dark? Could the Schubert be Marche militaire?

If the link is military, Elgar wrote a Military March.

First correct answer!  You've earned yourself another composer! Elgar Walton Rameau Schubert Berlioz Telemann (much in favour on these boards at the moment) |
