there's a wind machine in Frau ohne Schatten

I don't know Frau - it has a huge orchestra doesn't it

.

I was going by Wiki for the Barber one, which assured me that such a machine was employed. However I just found this:

Gioachino Rossini: Il barbiere di Siviglia ("The Barber of Seville")
I don't imagine that Rossini specified a wind machine in the orchestra for his famous opera buffa, but there is a storm near the end of the work and I have read the occasional review suggesting that some productions employ a wind machine for added verisimilitude.

But I am confident about the third work.

the third work.

RVW - Sinfonia antartica

rather pushed everyone else aside there, didn't I

great question Mr Flay - I must explore that Strauss

No, I'm sure Resso won't mind. I enjoyed his contributions.

We're all a bit thin on the ground at the moment, aren't we. Can you manage an XYZ or an A?

[mercia]

might have arrived at W sooner if I hadn't got Rossini and Mozart confused in my head

an XYZ or an A?

have to be A

A connecting

a (piano) sonata in E flat, a wind quintet, a 1480 chanson

Just checking in from The Eternal City... Buon giorno and all that

No puzzle to tackle (EDIT: oh, there is now! but lunch calls ... ) but that W was a doozie

I must say that

Analucia

gave me a and a !!!!!

not on the card I fear - though you're right with Beethoven (op 110 is in A flat)
the quintet is a work rather than ensemble

Buon giorno by the way

Do you mean the answer is A flat? As in the Holst Wind Quintet in A flat, op. 14?

But I'm lost for anything written in 1480.

sorry, no I was answering Caliban, his suggestion of Beethoven opus 110 is in A flat.

my Beethoven sonata is in E flat and has a nickname

<doh> Always read the question....

I'll say goodbye then

[Northender]

I feel like a carpet-bagger, snaffling up all these helpful clues....
Les Adieux (Beethoven piano sonata)
Adieu (Stockhausen Wind Quintet)
Adieu mes amours (1480 chanson)

[mercia]

Les Adieux (Beethoven piano sonata)
Adieu (Stockhausen Wind Quintet)
Adieu mes amours (1480 chanson)

well snaffled sir
1480 is probably only an approximate date, but I didn't think chanson alone would do
I think you have provided sufficient details
