        And Schumann used material from the eighth movement of his Kreisleriana, Op. 16 "Schnell und spielend", for the fourth movement of his first symphony.

        ETA Hoffman's Sandman would steal the eyes of children who wouldn't go to bed and feed them to his own children who lived in the moon

          I may never sleep again! I think I prefer The Chordettes or Janis Siegel!

          An I to connect Mendelssohn, the sea and shelter from the storm!

            ... and the tumbleweed rolls across from ferney's 'gag' on 'Stormy Weather' through the deserted streets of Alphabetville....
            "...the isle is full of noises,
            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              We are presumably being directed towards FM's 'Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage' overture, inspired by two Goethe poems.

              I can't find any linking "I"s at the moment though...

                Thought that might be the assumption but no it's not. The Mendelssohn is borrowed.

                  Yes, I meant to write 'misdirected' in my previous post, as in the technique of the prestidigitator...

                  Elgar 'borrowed' one of the 'Calm Sea' themes in his Enigma Variations, but if it's not relevant, that's a dead end.

                  Borrowed...

                    And is R.A. Zimmerman Esq. involved at all?

                            OK, my only other thought was Italian or Intermezzo. Although I'm not sure why. Off now, will check in later.

                              For this relief, at any rate - much thanks...

                              I'm as stumped as David Hockney - I'll wait for the evening shift to log on, unless you are prepared to give a clue.

                              Why the exclamation mark at the end of your puzzle, for instance?
