      Nope - Vivaldi is the solution to none of the elements.

      I thought you were talking about....

      ... but that would spoil things

      (In other news: PE donate to the Venice in Peril fund for each Pizza Veneziana sold )

        Any clues required, folks, or is everyone busy elsewhere?

          I thought Anna had given a clue with Pizza.

            She did but she went on to say Vivaldi... which was wrong.

            It was a clue in a way, in a different sense.

              So you want it in full?

              Ástor Pantaleón Piazzolla:

              Five Tango Sensations

              Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas (The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires)

              Two Argentinians in Paris

                You mean all 9 letters of the name Piazzolla instead of the 5 selected by Anna?

                Yes! I think that makes it clearer!

                Anna's Law scrupulously observed

                Do carry on!

                  A Q to link John Philip (age 11), Edward (age 22), and Charles Lutwidge (age 33).

                    Sousa, Grieg and Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) all reached those ages respectively in 1865...

                    Can I find a Q?

                    Not so far!

                    Are those three correct?

                        Oh I say, well played!

                        Must be right, surely! The R is all yours, assuming so

                          I'm off to bed now, so I'll check tomorrow morning and devise a suitable question if called upon.

                                googling says Sousa formed a quadrille orchestra [whatever that is] when he was 11 years old
                                whereas he was in his thirties when he wrote the QotHQ
                                [your Elgar & Dodgson fit their respective ages]
