    Oh! I quite like him!

    Carmen
    Van Gogh
    The Sleeping Beauty

    ... but what the F connection is ... ?

        Bizet, composer of Carmen also wrote L'Arlesienne which has a movement called Farandole???

              I thank you. The bubbly's put me in a whimsical mood, so try this:

              This G sounds like Yosser's royal request led to some classic readings of Pickwick, Puck and company.

                Yosser's request was "Gissa job?!" - am I on the right lines?

                  ... but not, in this case, "a job".

                    Methinks ye speak in riddles! I'm sitting this one out, to watch in awe...
                    "...the isle is full of noises,
                    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                        Puck and Pickwick appear in Debussy's Préludes, a major interpreter of which is Walter Gieseking (Gissa King!!)
