G F Handel and Carl Maria von Weber.
2/3 IGI, the no 8 (8 Marks?) is a bit tricky.

Well done Tommo.  I'd never heard of Albert Lortzing till seeing the stamps image this morning, and not heard his music but I see Amazon has a selection to listen to. John W |

5 is surely Sibelius unless someone else has written a piece called Sawn-off Tuonela... I would have taken a punt on Brahms for 3.
