        Frank?

        - Martin? (though I'm not sure his symphony was in any particular key)

        - Wedekind: Der Kammersänger (The Court-Singer, 1899) set in Munich

        - Sinatra: in the film of the musical
        "...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..."

                  You are firing out imagination, mercia... Not sure how you can say you were lacking inspiration!

                  So the Haydn Symphony is known as the FEUER

                  Not sure about the rest...

                  ... you couldn't be talking about the Guys'n'Dolls 1981 hit single "I Got the Fire in Me", could you?

                            Or Feuersnot as Richard Strauss (when in Munich) would say.

                            Cy Feuer together with Ernest Martin () "conceived Guys and Dolls as an adaptation of Damon Runyon's short stories".
