Boštjan Lipovšek would be a nice answer if only his first name was Fred

[mercia]

mercia I am rarely that direct winner in Weimar & Liszt is a good place to start as is Hungary. Fillip is a wonderful pun if I might say so myself on lip and .... you may want to spell it differently as a first name. Franz in its Hungarian form does feature as well, but I did not say we were looking for a common F in the first name.

Perhaps Philip Farkas, Gábor Farkas and Ferenc Farkas?

Philip Farkas -

(March 5, 1914 – December 21, 1992) was the principal horn player in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for many years; he left in 1960 to join the music faculty at Indiana University Bloomington. He wrote The Art of French Horn Playing which is considered by many to be the seminal work for horn players. Other books that he wrote include The Art of Brass Playing, The Art of Musicianship, and A Photo Study of 40 Virtuoso Horn Players' Embouchures *. Nancy Jordan Fako has also written a biography about his life: Philip Farkas and His Horn - A Happy, Worthwhile Life. Later in his life he helped design the Holton Farkas horn.

* Very lippy!

Ferenc Farkas (15 December 1905 – 10 October 2000), Hungarian composer: A Bűvös szekrény (The magic cupboard), opera (1942)

The four unlucky lovers sing desperately in the cupboard until the neighbours come to rescue them after hearing their banging.

Spot on Flay!

Go get your thinking cap on!

Go get your thinking cap on!

Gosh, me again?

For this G, seasons began in winter, a symphony wasn't completed, but a stranger's work was.

Glazunov 9 remained incomplete

Glazunov 9 remained incomplete

And it still does.

So what are the other two?

[mercia]

Glazunov's ballet The Seasons opus 67 starts with winter

[mercia]

not quite sure about the rest

Glazunov & Rimsky-Korsakov completed Borodin's Prince Igor which contains the Polovtsian Dances, one (?) of which was turned into the song Stranger in Paradise, which all seems a bit long-winded, so is probably wrong

Apologies for the wait, I was attending a lecture about stroke and TIA. Dialling 999 as soon as possible is the main lesson of the afternoon. (There is a four and a half hour window of opportunity for treatment).

I was actually thinking about its World Premiere at the Imperial Theatre of the Hermitage,Winter Palace, St. Petersburg.

And yes, it was relating to Strangers in Paradise - sorry!

Hit us with an H!
