Alphabet associations - I

That's them, ammy

Something easy while watching the rugby. What's the common G here: a Bernstein creation; a product from Cologne and Dagenham; and part of an eight-piece suite ?

Oh nicely done, mercia!

I was hoping the Bernstein connection might have thrown you (as it did ammy ) for a little longer.

The downside is you got yourself an aitch

Thank you for the compliment, much appreciated

I think we are talking Harlequins, and not the rugby team?

1. Albin Swoboda created the role of Harlekin in Richard S's "Ariadne auf Naxos"
2. Busoni wrote "Arlecchino"
3. Arlequin is the third section of Schumann's "Carnaval"

indeed we are, care to elaborate?

Sorry, was amplifying my answer as you wrote that

I suppose I have I...

[mercia]

very good

An "I" word is the common factor between a gloomy anthem, a geographical tone poem and a succinct-sounding suite. I was going to add the nationality of each but see how you get on with that for now

[mercia]

a geographical tone poem

by Strauss ?

[Nick Armstrong]

by Strauss ?

No sir.

Although thinking about it, the English translation of a Strauss tone poem would actually work, and be a fourth example of the relevant "I"

An interesting answer. It would be good to see a list of all the winners.

Shall I ask 'er ... ?

Scrub the above: I thought it was "indoors" - a sort-of English translation of "Domestica"?; and there is an Indoors Suite isn't there? But Geographical tone poems and gloomy anthems don't fit!
