      I didn't know that Edward Elgar had written so much music for wind quintet, and fun it is too!

        Elgar's music for wind quintet (I have a 2-CD set) includes:
        Adagio Cantabile - Mrs Winslow's Soothing Syrup
        Harmony Music No. 5 (III) - 'Noah's Ark'
        Which just leaves the mis-spelt tourist attraction ....

                    What F connects

                    Sviatoslav thought it the most difficult of all .... and
                    Red Army's crossing of the Vistula into Germany ... and
                    Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge ... ????

                      That's apparently Scriabin's Fifth Piano Sonata, but the rest doesn't fit

                          The 5th Guards Army played a major part in the military campaign in question - but that's not a musical association of course.

                            ... and as for Prokofiev's Fifth :

                            Sergei Prokofiev composed his Symphony No. 5 in B flat major during a critical point in World War II. Russia was anticipating victory over Nazi Germany, and there was a tangible feeling of excitement in Russia. The Evanston Symphony will perform this dazzling orchestral work during its Oct. 26 concert in the Pick-Staiger Concert Hall at 2:30 p.m.In what is considered one of the most dramatic premieres ever, Prokofiev conducted this work on Jan. 13, 1945, in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, to an audience consisting of the most prominent people of the day.
