Only Connect

My first attempt at an all-musical connecting wall. Clue: not all connections are musical ones!
Is the weekend too soon to reveal answers?

Flippin' eck.

Do you mean to have two Handels?

Sadly, there is no common Perambulator - no, that would be Carpenter, not Antheil; my latest mistake.

I toyed with Monde/World - also Edward II - but I've ditched both.

Hopefully that is ok!

(Also which Butterworth?)

Actually, let's go with Allegri as starters.

I fancy Miserere as a launch point???

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

There's four "Georges" there - Benjamin, Butterworth, Handel, and Enescu.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Ooh - five with Antheil.

[Bryn]

I hear there's an Auricular one, too.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Handel; Taneyev; Allegri; Parmegiani

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

SchönBerg; OffenBach; Webern; ... err ... There's a couple of obscure composers called Worth, and Emmanuel Ax, of course, but ...

A separate 'OC' thread clearly meets a need - thanks!
I may have spotted the 'red herring'....5 of these composers have Christian names beginning with 'A':
Anton Reicha
Arnold Bax
Arthur Benjamin
Anton Webern
Arnold Schoenberg
...or am I heading up the proverbial garden path?
I think #23 is right.

Reicha - Steve Reich.

Are we in the area of requiems for four of them? - Britten, Liszt....plus two?

[gurnemanz]

Liszt, Schönberg, Handel, Offenbach, Reicha, all became citizens of other countries and changed the spelling of their name. Not so sure about Reicha. Both Schönberg and Händel lost their umlauts.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Reicha - Steve Reich.

<doh>! <doh>! <doh>! <doh>! <doh>!

Of course!!!!!!!!!

Good point.

I wonder if, summing up:

4 Georges: Handel (in England, adding the "e" to "Georg"); Butterworth; Antheil; Benjamin
Composers whose names contain the names of other composers: Reicha; Offenbach; Schönberg; Webern
Composers whose names contain a limb: Parmegiani; Taneyev; Handel; Allegri

... which would leave Liszt, Britten, Bax, and Enescu ... all of whom wrote Rhapsodies?

... or again, Enescu might've been George IV

Ah! I originally thought this, then rejected it because I "remembered" that he was a "Georges" - but he wasn't! (In which case, swap with Butterworth, who also fits in the "Rhapsody" connection - this sort of thing is allowed in the earlier rounds of OC [if the connection is valid, it "wins" regardless of "what's on the card" - not sure that this could work with a "Wall" round, though.)
