    so :

    Which S begins demonically, and finishes Christmas off; thanking its friends, it finds itself in a form inside itself in the evening?

        - cryptic, but perfectly clear once you knew the answer.

        Hopefully the first of many to come!

          "Evening" is suggesting "serenade"/"serenata" to me. Should it be doing?

            Is it (St) Stephen?

            (or Sensemaya?)

              ... no. But the last S here takes place in the evening.

                ... no. The S is not a person's name.

                  Saturnalia?

                  Satan......and luria, a mollusc mainly in its shell.

                  (Natal is in there as well and so is Nuit)

                      This will be for other people.

                      Not me.

                      However, Tartini possibly for one of the first two composers and I am tempted on the third to think in terms of La Boheme.

                      These could be backed up with some limited reasoning.

                      I have also considered sarabande and versions of Salome but I really think that all of these ideas are not right here.

                        Tartini is indeed right for the first composer...

                        [ ... but not Boheme or sarabande or Salome ]

                          Oh well, in that case........the Devil's Trill Sonata.

                              I don't know.

                              Stradivarius, servant, slowly?

                              The more obvious answer is D for dream.

                                ... the form of the first movement? A form it shares with the last movement of a baroque Christmas work....
