Here's a new one to solve...
Szymanowski
Satie
Mendelssohn
Bloch
Single word connection to spot!
Your word Sir or rather concept is " night"! Szymanowski: Third Symphony opus 27, which sets a Czech translation of a Persian work of which the name is variously translated as " The Song of the Night," or " Song in the Night" (1916); Satie: Cinq Grimaces pour Le Songe d'une nuit d'été - id est Five Grimaces for A Midsummer Night's Dream (1915) - Eric Alfred Leslie Satie had a Scottish mother but we do not know whether he spoke English!; Mendelssohn: either Die erste Walpurgisnacht, opus 60 (1831), or the familiar music to A Midsummer Night's Dream (1842); Bloch: either In the Night, for solo piano or orchestra (1922), or another work entitled simply Night, for string quartet (1925). So what prize do we receive then? |

A very good attempt there, Sydney, but 'night' wasn't the link I was seeking on this particular occasion, although the Mendelssohn piece does come from A Midsummer Night's Dream. The other three are piano works.

Unlucky there Grew, not the first time a contestant has identified a link other than IGI's own. Prize  on 'winning' ? Just satisfaction, Grew, satisfaction  I'm struggling and so far only came up with Szymanowski - Masques Op 34 Satie - Mendelssohn - Danse Bergamasque from Midsummer Night's Dream Bloch - |

Nope, not linked to masks/masques/dances at all. |

Oh Lord, one of IGI's tricky ones methinks, Mendelssohn - Danse Bergamasque is correct but link isn't dances or masques   I'll need to read some LP notes or maybe even listen to the music  aaaarrgghh - I've just said on the Good Morning thread that I must do something useful today after yesterday's non-day  |

No day in which you hit the Quiz Inquisitor's target with Bax is a non-day, John. But as for this one I've just found a piano piece by Szymanowski called Masks and was about to lay it before IGI's feet, only to find that Ruth's Mask had been cruelly shunned. |

Never fear, Tommo, I would never want to bring silliness of any sort to a full stop. I'm a great believer in silliness.
And so am I, really!  Keep going, John! Szymanowski Satie Mendelssohn - Danse Bergamasque (Dance of the Clowns) Bloch Leoncavallo - Pagliacci (Clowns) |

Good try, Tommo. I was thinking of a less specific clown, who, like Leoncavallo's, may not be in The Happy Room.
