    so does the composers name start or end with a G.

      Shouldn't be too difficult.

                    Good on ya, Ammy!

                    Shall I draw the threads together?

                    A composer whose real name begins with G but he published a large part of his work under the inverted pseudonym.

                    *His pieces include: shower of roses, a prayer [at the early part of the day], and grandpa's dance [considered by The Oxford Companion to Music to be a kind of slower polka, with continental-European origin]....
