          To clarify, this is one of the answers. So I need two more which should easily Google now.

            Does good old Erbherr, Lehnherr and Gerichtsherr Carl Heinrich von Dieskau, Saxon-Crown-Princely Kammerherr to the Rittergut Kleinzschocher near Leipzig, (known to his friends as "Gerry") feature, then?

              Nothing to do with the answer but I recall a previous puzzle in which Giuditta Pasta, a famous Italian soprano, was the answer!

                        Could I ask for further clarification?!

                        And re: the gum tree... You're on your own, pally!

                              May I apologise to the honourable gentleman and to the court. The answer is Peasant but there are three of them (not including present company )

                                So - Suppé, Bartok and someone other than Bach?
