Hm, I'm seeing this:

For a commemorative issue of La Revue Musicale (December 1, 1920), editor and musicologist Henri Pruničre commissioned several works in memory of Claude Debussy, who had died two years earlier. The musical contributors were all of international caliber: Béla Bartók, Paul Dukas, Manuel de Falla, Eugene Goossens, Gian Francesco Malipiero, Albert Roussel, Erik Satie, Florent Schmitt, and Igor Stravinsky. Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) offered a single-movement memorial composition for violin and cello.

So the Ravel would be the Sonata for violin and cello unless I'm barking up the wrong tree.

...Bartók - Improvisations on Hungarian Peasant Songs (at least no. 7 of the 8 )

Fauré - Homenaje
Satie - Que me font ses vallons…
Schmitt - Et Pan, au fond des blés lunaires, s'accouda

Barking very much up the right tree, Mr Sudden.  Wink

Aha, and now a complete set, I spy. Congratulations!

And excerpts from this 'Tombeau de Debussy' can he heard here.

That's a nice collection. Let's put it all on another concert in 2020!

A tough act to follow, but this might very well be an easy one...

Vincenzo Galilei
G.B. Vitali
L.E. Larsson
Paisiello
Nřrgĺrd
Malipiero
Lájos Koltai

... in that order, of course  Wink

Now there's an interesting list! I presume the fact that there are already seven names listed is significant, as is the order? Are we looking for names of particular works (a film in the case of Lájos Koltai)?

Is the Piccioli Luigi Piccioli, one of Tchaikovsky's teachers?

I did mean Paisiello. Sorry for the confusion. Piccioli was a mistake.

But yes, Koltai as film-maker.

Paisiello famously wrote Il barbiere di Siviglia before the more famous Rossini one.
Malipiero wrote a Don Giovanni.
Koltai's Mephisto?

This is a word connection; only having the titles will solve the puzzle for you. So it's not a Boito, Beaumarchais or da Ponte connection.

Wish I was a bit more sophisticated, but I had to suggest this one because it tickled me that a filmmaker had to take the final slot.

This might be the clue to end all clues, i.e., the numbering.

6. Vincenzo Galilei
5. G.B. Vitali
4. L.E. Larsson
3. Paisiello
2. Nřrgĺrd
1. Malipiero
0. Lájos Koltai

Well, GG, the numbers are indeed cardinal and not just ordinal, though if there are puns, they could be interpreted as not puns at all. It does play on several meanings of a word which most of us use for only one meaning.

Would the Koltai be his film Offenbach's Secret by any chance?

You mean Zeroffenbach? No.  Cheesy Wink

I think if one concentrates first on Malipiero and Nřrgĺrd, the others will fall into place.

There's a Malipiero Sinfonia in un tempo, and a Concerto in due tempi by Nřrgĺrd, which would give 1 and 2....
