Vivaldi. And that's your lot for one element of the puzzle. I think also Pizza Express donate money if you order certain ones.

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...

whereas he was in his thirties when he wrote the QotHQ
