It is indeed - can you please enlighten other Forumistas as to the works involved? .(I had 2 by Mahler in mind, either of which is acceptable).

Bof! Debussy was son of a shopkeeper (Girl with the Yellow hair?) and Schubert (Y = ?) the son of a schoolmaster. I did get Mahler. though :-)

While we await Dermot's coleslaw, I had a think about Schubert and came up with his Young Nun.

Mahler: I had in mind Des Knaben Wunderhorn settings which Wiki says, (his) "first genuine settings of Wunderhorn texts, however, are found in the Lieder und Gesänge ('Songs and Airs'), published in 1892 and later renamed by the publisher as Lieder und Gesänge aus der Jugendzeit (Songs and Airs from Days of Youth)."


Elgar: Wand of Youth suites. This was the way in as I knew Elgar's father had a music shop in Worcester.

Janacek: Woodwind sextet Mladi (Youth).

I will have a Z shortly.

... and to recommend -

And of course he has a Youth Orchestra named after him...

I only heard Dame Janet live once in the concert hall of the Royal Dublin Society many years ago. Her voice was in its prime and she sang Elgar's Sea Pictures with piano accompaniment. A memorable evening.

My other Mahler was 'Von der Jugend', one of the songs in 'Das Lied von der Erde'

A Nobel laureate

Would Lohengrin or Don Carlos fit for the opera?

[vinteuil]

Would Lohengrin or Don Carlos fit for the opera?

... I had had similar thoughts - but surely both works are concerned with the Flemish-speaking parts of that region

.

[Petrushka]

Would Lohengrin or Don Carlos fit for the opera?

I, too, had the same thought.

The only Z connection with Peter the Great that comes to mind is Zaandam.

[AuntDaisy]

This is very tenuous...
Zurich?
Wagner performed Lohengrin extracts in Zurich (exile meant he missed the premiere.)
There are lots of Zurich connected Nobel Laureates.

On another Z note, Zanardini did the Italian translation for Verdi's Don Carlos...

[Alain Maréchal]

Peter the Great had worked in Deptford as a Carpenter, and is the title character of Zar und Zimmerman.
Berndt Alois Zimmerman wrote Die Soldaten.
Bob Dylan was born Zimmerman.

I think that is the only occasion on which I have reached anywhere near the answer to one of these questions. Please do not ask me to set one though, my English is not good enough.

Well done, Alain, correct in every detail. Dylan's name has only one n in it whereas the others have two.

People seem to be either keen setters or keen solvers. I confess that after the effort of my first attempt as a setter I wasn't anxious to set out again. I was five sixths there having discovered (possibly, how can one know?) that only one musician has won the Nobel Prize. We may need a volunteer for the Austrian army awfully arrayed ...
