Wow! That sounds an excellent way to prepare for a birthday. It was the Lambert Grande which got me suspicious!
And it was when you asked about Odes that I knew I was rumbled.  Oh you really shouldn't but it's very kind of you to offer. Well, if you insist, I'll have a slice of the coffee and walnut one please. |

Very low on the 'fiendish' scale...mild 'thumbscrew tweaking', perhaps?  Shostakovich Janacek Prokofiev Tchaikovsky |

Placing the Janacek seems the hardest thing. Is it anything to do with sinfoniettas?

Nothing to do with sinfoniettas, Tony (although Janacek's is one of my favourite pieces which send a tingle up the spine!)

Good connection, opi, although not the one I had in mind (Cherevichki is very good, as is Rimsky's Christmas Eve, based on the same story). I've added an extra composer:
Shostakovich
Janacek
Prokofiev
Tchaikovsky

There's a tea connection with at least two of them, but I can't get any further than that I'm afraid. |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

Tchaikovsky - The Queen of Spades
Barber - A Hand of Bridge
Shostakovich - The Gamblers
