    The rock/river combination suggests Lorelei, but I'd need to investigate further to find the/any composer connections.

      And this from someone who doesn't relate to Lieder.

      The Franz isn’t Schubert though



      … as you apparently realised simultaneously (proving, if I may say so, the very opposite of ignorance!)

        Lorelei is the 3rd movement of DSCH's 14th racket.

        Die Lorelei is a song by Clara Schumann.

          List! Is that Ferenc I hear? He also composed Die Lorelei.
          It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

            (I thought DSCH14 might delay people more than the other two!)

                  I'd already deleted the comment that mentioned Schubert.

                  In addition to the DSCH S14 movement, we have Franz Liszt and Clara Schumann as the composers.

                  I've some urgent editing to do for a friend in Rome, so am more than happy for Tapiola to take the baton and give us a Mysterious M.

                      I would never have guessed Lorelei and other elements without your Commedia dell'Arte-like powers, P, but thank you (I think).

                      An M to follow anon-ish.

                              A possibly straight forward M:

                              An M to connect Mahler's 7th, Schoenberg's op 24 and Mike Oldfield's greatest hit.

                                Oh dear, I have just thought of an alternative solution to this, corresponding somewhat to ff's N(T)ITRE Rule. Not as exact as the initial answer but I will accept either.
