Chess pieces? In order of 'value'?
Berio, O King
Bob Dylan, Only a Pawn in Their Game
Rachmaninov, Skupoy rïtsar′ [The Miserly Knight]
Menotti, The Death of the Bishop of Brindisi
Stravinsky, 'Vorona' [The Rook] from Tri pesenki ‘Iz vospominaniyha yunosheskikh godov’ [Three Little Songs ‘Recollections of my Childhood’]
I confess that I've had recourse to Grove for some of these. You can berate me later.

That sounds pretty convincing IGI. I had started to go down the royalty route, O King by Berio followed by Lunatic Princess by Dylan  Well done you! |

Sorry martle...  It just sort of leapt out at me. I was thinking that if it wasn't cards (and there was nothing that made sense for there only to be six if it was), then I was wondering what else it could be. And I suddenly counted the number of chess pieces... |

That's Pavel Haas, right, IGI?
And a common word connection?

Haas did Life is a Dog Zappa He did Dog Breath Variations on a theme of Ravel and also an exquisite Bolero. Holst never had a dog and Mozart died before pets were invented. In other words, I do not know. |

NOM indeed Turfan, I do enjoy a Hass Avocdo, but I fear fruit is not the answer. Much as I wish it to be. |

Damn you, Tommo! I'd thought of that, but couldn't nail the Mozart. Excellent work! |
