Pretty sure we didn't have this before, Tommo, although someone (and it could well have been your good self) suggested it as an incorrect answer a few weeks ago and I squirrelled it away...
I think autoharp suggested that as an answer a few weeks ago. My "deja vu" sense has April or May associated with it..... Anyway, if I didn't dream it, I am honoured that you thought it worthy of a quiz now.  Tommo |

A very good evening to you, IGI.
Is it that they all wrote violin concerti, but only one apiece?

Good evening, o green one! Nice try and the one violin concerto theme fits, but it's a little more involved than that.
Off to make some kedgeree, so I'll check on progress and throw in another composer, if required, later!

Not a Manfred/Byron connection, Tommo. Good thinking though and not altogether along the wrong lines...
Kedgeree was yum, btw! Comforting.

Reinecke, Schumann and Hindemith hadwritten Fantasiestucks, but not Tchaikovsky (I don't think he did).

Now, I wasn't thinking of Fantasiestücke, t-p, but Schumann's does actually fit the connection! There is another Schumann piece which perhaps gives away the link more obviously, but this will perhaps give you a start.
Tchaikovsky
Hindemith
Schumann - Fantasiestücke
Reinecke
Spontini

Hindemith opera Cardillac is on Hoffman's libretto.
Also Tchaikovsky ballet Nutcracker is based on his tale.
Hoffman wrote collection of stories PHANTASIESTÜCKE (1914).
I never knew that Schumann was inspired by it and wrote phantaziestucke.
I only knew Offenback operetta.

Yes, t-p, the Schumann Fantasiestücke were indeed inspired by Hoffmann, as was another work, this time for solo piano. You are right to identify the Offenbach, which was to be a final clue.
Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker
Hindemith - Cardillac
Schumann - Fantasiestücke
Reinecke
Spontini
Delibes
Offenbach – The Tales of Hoffmann

Reinecke - Drei Fantasiestücke für Viola und Klavier, Op.43 (Three fantasy pieces for viola and piano).
Delives - Coppelia
Spontini ? May be someone with knowledge of Italian language.
His operas are not staged now days and I don't know him at all.

Yes to the Delibes. I wasn't aware that Reinecke's Fantasiestücke were also linked to Hoffmann, but they could well be. I was thinking of a definite link to a Hoffmann literary link already identified in connection to another of our composers. The other Schumann piece takes its name from a character in a Hoffmann story. The Spontini opera, likewise, has a thematic link to the Offenbach. |
