Your assumption is correct - the three are all C20th composers.

Might we be talking Schoenberg, Barber, and Schuman?

By the way, is mercia OK?

His (I believe) most recent post was last Friday afternoon: perhaps he's had a week's holiday around the Bank Holiday? I hope that nothing is untoward, and that he is enjoying himself thoroughly and will be returning very shortly.

We certainly are.

[Pulcinella]

Struggling here!
Barber wrote his Essays and made some Excursions, but I don't think that Erwartung was one of them!
I even got to wondering if they had all studied at the Eastman Rochester School of Music.
Anyone else making any headway?

Apologies for not servicing the E - been a bit busy! Not Earth. Don't be brassed off.

I think we are talking euphonium here, then.
The following pieces were apparently specifically written including a part for, or have a part that is played on, a euphonium.
Schoenberg: Themes and Variations
Barber: Third Essay and Symphony 2
Schuman: Credendum

It is indeed the Euphonium - I had other works in mind for Barber and Schuman but they were both Euphoniophiles.
I look forward to Flay's F on Flora Day.
