Late and tired and emotional...

It might be Faust, but I can't imagine J Strauss II...

Not a Faustian connection, although I'm sure there's a devilish waltz among the Strauss works list!

Liszt
Johann Strauss II
Berlioz
Schumann
Dvorak

Something subconscious says 'Caprice and Reverie' to me.

It's probably about as correct as my conscious would be! Smiley

Not 'Caprice and Reverie', Tommo. Not much reverie at all.  Wink

Correct, Tony! The Strauss was his operetta Der Karneval in Rom.

Yes, bbm, Tony's been on particularly fine form lately!

Here's a new quartet to solve:

Sibelius
Haydn
Tchaikovsky
Josef Strauss

But I'm stumped on this one, I'm afraid. I tried to find out if Haydn had written anything with swan in the title...

Not a thinly-veiled reference to Haydn's Farewell Symphony, by any chance?

Which suggests swansongs?

Sibelius - The Swan of Tuonela
Tchaikovsky - the dying swan in Swan Lake

 Huh

IGI's hint at first made me think of a diminished fourth. But now I think it's something to do with echoes.

Tchaikovsky - Countryside Echo
Sibelius - The Echo Nymph
Haydn - Echo Seranade

You were looking for echoes, Tony!   I had a couple of alternatives: 

Haydn - Symphony No.38 in C major, Echo
Tchaikovsky - 18 Morceaux, Op.72 - 13. Echo rustique
Sibelius - as well as The Echo Nymph you could also have gone for Pan and Echo

Any idea re the Strauss?

The extra Josef Strauss was Echoes of the Rhine Loreley to complete the echo connection.

Another Strauss appears in this new quartet:

Schubert
Tchaikovsky
Tippett
Johann Strauss II
