Jacques is a first name as were Henri & Carl & thus also because I do give quite consequential hints is "leaving" (a synonym, as journey is to voyage) in the title of the piece "invitation to ......"
by one Jacques ................. A French composer still alive, predominantly electronic music of the type "concrète". I'll wait
A Winter's Tale
Appeal to Destiny
Fantasy in C Major
Blimey....
It's been quieter here than Fenwicks on a bank holiday...
I've had a couple of gos at this and got nowhere
It's presumably not one of the obvious Fantasies in C (e.g. Schubert: Fantasy in C major, Op. 17) as I've been unable to find any Czech connection.
Time for a clue, perchance?
"...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..."
Yes I meant to refer in my post (just amended) to the Schubert: Fantasy in C major, Op. 17
So there is some sort of Czech connection with that piece?
A performer?

Indeed or three different chaps called one of them......
Quite...
To confirm: is it the Piano Fantasy? Or is it for instance Schubert's Schubert: Fantasie in C major for violin and piano, D934?
That might lead us to Josef Suk....
The violinist would have played the above piece
His grandfather of the same name wrote A Winter's Tale, Shakespeare Overture for orchestra, Op. 9
What was the other bit of the question...?
