Oh, Ruth's just beat me to that one! How about Fire Spirits or The Fiery Angel for the Prok? I'm sure the Grieg must be an elf or a fairy!

Anty, I edited my previous post with a suggestion for the Prok... Two minds thinking as one Ruth but I suggested Hamlet and it's not right. How about Dvorak - The Spectre's Bride? Ketleby - The Phantom Melody? edited with addition |

Yes to Ruth's suggestion of Le spectre de la rose from Les nuits d’été and to Anty's Dvorak and Ketèlbey answers:
Prokofiev
Berlioz - Le spectre de la rose
Ligeti – Apparitions
Grieg –
Dvorak – The Spectre’s Bride
Maw – Ghost Dances
Beethoven – Piano Trio, ‘Ghost’
Ketèlbey - The Phantom Melody
Corigliano – The Ghosts of Versailles
The Grieg and Prokofiev are both piano pieces...

I defer to Anty on this one. She was first to suggest the ghostly connection, after all. Meanwhile, I was in my office kitchen thinking of words from the song titles in Les nuits d'été which might supply the key to the puzzle. No sooner had I thought "oooh, bet it's 'spectre'" and returned to my desk than Anty had beaten me to it  |

It's not going to be an IGI quadruple bluff and turn out to be 'Valse, is it? [Lights go out, sounds of klaxons and flashing word VALSE appears on screens.] Thought not. |
