Unless he's going soft, of course.  The Inquisition would like a word, Mr Martle!  Nocturnes? Nope. |

Another composer leaps off the bench, but I suspect at least one person here anticipated this one...
Mahler
Birtwistle
Butler
Ravel
Florent Schmitt
Britten
Sibelius
Bantock

 Quite brilliant, pw! Well done.  Novák, Nielsen and Debussy were all waiting in the wings. |

 Superb, PW! I'd never have got that, I swear. (Oh, and I think it's Tin-Pan Ballet ) |

(Oh, and I think it's Tin-Pan Ballet ) I'm sure Mr Butler would forgive me. IGI's puzzles have much in common with Araucaria's Guardian crosswords - fiendish, but sometimes you just see it. |

The Schmitt Tristesse de Pan is featured on this enticing recent release, being written as a tribute to Debussy (a subject for an earlier connection here) and then paired with La tragique chevauchée to make up his Mirages, op.70:  |

Slightly different, this one, and a bit more tricky. There are six composers, no more and no less. We're looking for a thematic connection, not a common word.
No subs, but I will give the odd clue...
Berio
Bob Dylan
Rachmaninov
Menotti
Stravinsky
Tchaikovsky
Clue 1: the order is significant

How about these for an opening gambit/ wild stab?
Berio - Un re in ascolto
Bob Dylan - Blowin' in the Wind
Rachmaninov - Isle of the Dead
Menotti - The Telephone
Stravinsky - L'Histoire du Soldat
Tchaikovsky - The Queen of Spades

A good scatter-gun start, IGI! You score one out of that lot.
Berio
Bob Dylan
Rachmaninov
Menotti
Stravinsky
Tchaikovsky - The Queen of Spades

I await your return, duly nourished. I should say that you were very warm with one other of your initial guesses, IGI. |
