Strauss - The Blue Danube?
Every Good Boy Deserves Favour = Moody Blues (the Czech link being that they were asked to make a rock and roll version of Dvořák's New World Symphony)
Any warmer?
No. You don't need to use the Czech link any longer (it just refers to the name of a play by a certain Czech playwright  ) |

...a lot of Zimmermann's pieces had to do with people getting what they deserve (or rather not), but I'm having trouble finding it in a title. Die Soldaten is certainly one of them...

Ian said Die Soldaten wasn't the answer he was after, although it did fit!
If the Strauss is a 'face' connection, it could be 'Ha, welch' ein reizendes Gesicht!' from Cagliostro in Wien?

'Ha, welch' ein reizendes Gesicht!' That's what Google offered me, too! I hope it isn't Gesichte aus dem Wienerwald...  |

Is the Charpentier in the title?
The nearest I can find is a line from Act I of Charpentier’s ‘Médée’

Whilst we await Ian's return and answer to his fiendish 'Every Good Boy...' puzzle, here's a much easier quartet to solve...a simple, gentle Grade 1 teaser, as someone appealed for not too long ago:  Saint-Saëns Gershwin Maxwell Davies Debussy |

Just joined this squeezer and as nonplussed as everyone else. Could youthful dreams be where we started (Strauss: Jugendträume)?

Have skimmed all the posts in a hurry so apologies if this has been asked before. Is the Zimmermann Requiem für einen jungen Dichter?]

Well, after yesterday evening’s ‘piece of cake’, here’s another unlikely quartet for you to solve. Not too tricky – the link is in the title of each piece:
Couperin
Stockhausen
Chaminade
Josef Strauss

Well, despite my promise, I had serious problems with a new laptop and router yesterday, so wasn't able to get online to post the answer to my puzzle. I will give a new deadline of 9pm this evening, then give the full answer. For those of you agonising over the identity of the sixth piece, or finding 'deserves' in Zimmermann, you might wish to consider a more syllabic approach. |
