At every one of these [classical] concerts in England you will find rows of weary people who are there, not because they really like classical music, but because they think they ought to like it. (Shaw, Don Juan in Hell)

We're looking for an opera, two songs, a set of songs, a poet, an orchestral piece, a set of piano pieces, and a work for solo viola.
We have the set of piano pieces, the work for solo viola, the orchestral piece (title not quite all there yet...), the set of songs, and one of the two single songs. That leaves us with an opera, the other song and a poet to spot. |

We've found the opera and the other song, so that just leaves a poet... I did warn you... Oh dear. I've just gone back and checked this one out and it's SO tenuous as to make me feel quite quite ashamed. The song is from 1860, and is called 'The Rose on the Heath' to a poem by A. Baskerville. I would get my coat but it's started growling at me... If anyone can come up with a better version (though I do like IGI's suggestion) then I'd love to see it! |

Cunning, hh. Cunning.  It's a long time since I read any Conan Doyle. I found a couple of volumes packing up all my books for my recent house move and must take another look at them. |

OK then, try this:
Helmut Lachenmann
Benjamin Britten
Johannes Brahms
Guillaume Du Fay
Not a common word link, more of a theme.

I can advise you not to start with the Du Fay. I am confident that once you've started looking for a specific link, it won't take you too long.

Good try turfers, but not quite heroic enough.

Is this a really heavy clue? Or part of a devious plan? Britten - Ballad of Heroes? Hans Richter dubbed Brahms' 3rd Symphony his 'Eroica' |

If that's what it's about, I'd imagine Triumphlied would fit the bill, but I can't find anything similar in Lachenmann..

Not that obvious... something a little more subterranean.

My first response was actually a clue, just not as obvious a clue as it was initially taken.
So no Gran Torso and no Begraebnisgesang.
