        Are you trying to give us a heart attack?
        Jascha Horenstein suffered a heart attack when conducting the Nielsen in 1971, and Jascha Brodksy of the Curtis Quartet died, in his apartment I believe, also of a heart attack.

              Jascha Silberstein studied with Rudolf Hindemith.
              So: the above, plus Jascha Horenstein and Jascha Brodsky?

                      Think John Roberts, think development of tonic sol-fa in his home country. And in what part of UK is it traditional for cultural exponents to have a second name for cultural events?

                            A 'K', please to link two works, premiered in 1874 and 1886 respectively, by one composer and a three-part symphonic picture, published in 1892, by a different composer of the same nationality.
