      Mercia, you'll pleased to know that Georg is not the answer! (so if you have a rest someone else might come up with the correct G).

      The Burlesque suite however is part of the answer, look a little closer at the titles of the movements.

      The third one that is a grazer, is more correctly, a Grazer.

          Trouble is, if it's because she's from Graz, then "grazer" can't also refer to Bahlamms Fest. And the G we're looking for isn't revealed, either.

          The third movement of the Telemann is a Galop, which puts me in mind of Galuppi. Any use?

            well if I'm looking for another G there's a galope in movement 6 [and Schubert wrote a Grazer galop for piano apparently]

            don't know whether fernie was having me on but moulins-a-vent are windmills not sheep

              Fernie & Mercia well done, it's gallop!

              Now for the swop [sic] ( as in swap )

                Well more of a plod than a gallop it seems.

                1 "Swop gallop" is a sort of mash-up of one Laurence Rosenthal (an earlier version of André Rieu ) of music of Johann Strauss 1 & Joseph Lanner.
                I only chose it to make the sentence not because of its obscurity

                2 Telemann's Suite " Burlesque de Don Quixotte" 6th mvt Le galope de Rosinante - Celui d'ane de Sanche (The gallop of Rosinante - The gallop of Sancho's donkey)

                3 Grazer Galopp D925 by Schubert

                Fernie or Mercia Has it.

                          - and, I hope, equally "obvious" once you know the answer!

                                Heinz Holliger wrote a Snow White ( Schneewittchen ) and Ursula (little female bear) Holliger (harpist) is his wife. Ahem, I hope you are referring to her as a soloist following him on stage as a conductor and not at an obligatory metre behind him at all times?
