IGI, you are a genius! I was way off the mark with yours. I made all sorts of other ridiculous links too which seemed to make sense. I shall have to try and get on your wavelength. It's a bit like all the crosswords I love. I find some compilers really easy and others I have to slog to understand how their minds work. I do it in the end, but not fast enough on here.....yet! Watch this space!  |

IGI, your brain is wired differently to the rest of us! Thanks, folks, for those comments! I think it must be the effects of teaching primary classes...lateral thinking frequently needed! Try these four then, Milly and co. Nothing too devious here...think of it as a gentle warm up. Massenet Purcell Elgar Rimsky-Korsakov |

Sydney got to it first!  I'll have a go at the next one later today if there is one. It isn't that I think you're devious IGI, it's just a different way of thinking to my own. I'll get used to it eventually. A problem of mine is that in the past when doing this sort of thing I've tended to try and make things more difficult than they were, in other words I thought the correct answers would have seemed too easy - now I do the opposite and simplify first without looking for a deeper meaning. About turn is needed. |

Sydney got to it first! Not so Madame Millicent! We could find nothing Indian in Rimmscy, only a vague resemblance between Saltan and Sultan. You are still in with a chance! And besides, several times in the past we have found a connection of some simple kind between all the composers, but it turned out to be a connection other than Mr. IGI's rather less straightforward connection. For what it is worth, we simply started with Purcell and looked through a list of his works to see if there was anything with a vaguely Elgarian resonance. . . . |

 Congratulations to Sydney for correctly identifying the Indian link and successfully naming three out of the four compositions. Well done, Anna, for completing the puzzle with Rimsky's Song of the Indian Merchant from Sadko. |

Clue?  I've got lists of all these composers' works and I keep finding connections between three of them. Raff is the problem and as his output is by far the least, it should be he who gives me the first clue. Sadly not yet. :-( |

Milly, Raff wrote heaps as far as I can see... over 200 opus numbers and quite a few WoOs!
Is there a geographical connection? I'm seeing Beach's Variations on Balkan Themes and various Hungarian and Serbian things from Raff...
