    Roland Shaw, Dimitri Tiomkin, John Addison and Anton Karas all wrote or contributed to the score of films set in V.
    These films date from, respectively, 1972, 1938, 1976 and 1949. Two of them have the same title.
    Anton Karas is The Third Man, which seems to lie behind some or all of LMcD's #3564.

        Dimitri Tiomkin and Roland Shaw composed music for 'The Great Waltz' (1938 and 1972 respectively). John Addison composed the score for 'The Seven Per Cent Solution', and Anton Karas found fame as the composer of the 'Harry Lime Theme', from 'The Third Man'. 4 films set wholly or partly in Vienna.
        Orson Welles delivered his homily on Swiss democracy while riding in the Big Wheel in the Prater amusement park. Other clues referred to famous moments in 'The Third Man'.
        (Thankfully hands over the AA baton).

              Well, to keep things easy for W I could simply have gone back to the capital of Austria and reset the last one

              My W is a very pleasant, liquid word (non-English but should be familiar) that will give you the opening to three composers.

              Tip out all their compositions in a big heap, have a rummage and you'll find a golden key, a sad shepherd, a spring storm, an angry devil, a carnival and an idiot.

              (And much, much more which I'm hoping, nay expecting, you won't need further listings of)

              Names of composers required; their links to the above compositions get bonus points.

                Ah, just a belated warning (and clue): one of my composers doesn't always begin with W.

                  Maybe one of the two composers represented on this CD, both of which are listed by Presto differently to how they appear on the CD cover?

                  Weinberg & Miaskovsky: Violin Concertos. Naxos: 8557194. Buy CD or download online. Ilya Grubert (violin) Russian Philharmonic Orchestra, Dmitry Yablonsky

                      He might indeed! One down, two to go.

                      But be warned, Amazon or Presto won't give you many of the six works But my given titles are pretty exactly set out, albeit auf Englisch

                        Only one spring storm? Is the angry devil in a belfry?

                          scb: I think you have it. The devil was last seen in a belfry, and - my mistake - there would appear to be at least two spring storms.

                            I cannot currently find a relevant sad shepherd or carnival.

                              scb: I think you've tracked down one W composer responsible for works involving spring storms and a no doubt angry belfry devil. Please name him and his associated works.

                              Pulcinella has worked out another such composer (Wein/Vainberg) but has named no works. The six named works are divided two each between my three W-composers.

                              Rather more work seems needed on the 3rd composer!

                                I seem to remember reading something about an opera premiere on May the 9th 2013 .....
