one would think a Hammerklavier might feature in this question, but perhaps not

extra e - thinking out loud - hammere, haemmer, hamemer, ehammer

[Flay]

The clue is "budget" and "before deductions", then add the e.

It leads to the name of a composition, as in introduction, exposition, development, recapitulation and coda .

So it did! I actually didn't notice that you had written this - looking at a small screen without glasses at 5 am is not recommended! (When I don't have my glasses to hand I use a "pinhole" technique: pinching the thumb tip against the first and second finger tips so there it a minute gap, and looking through this. Try it. Mind you it was not so helpful this morning! )

(1) Alwynne Pritchard: Invisible Cities

(2) Nicolas S Ommicioli: Invisible Worlds

I am not sure of the third. Is this The Invisible Man by Queen, in which the name of Brian May occurs in the lyrics?

Ah, no; I don't know this piece. The answer on the card is very similar to Ms Pritchard's.

No. I was tempted to include Genesis' Invisible Touch but decided to settle on a purely "Classical" triumverate. The "invisible" here is a translation of a title by a very different Brian, "shades" being salient.
