    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...?

    The Schubert I have on the back of my envelope is Op. 159

    Josef wins you the coconut but not the coleslaw....

        So your question doesn't Suk, anton?

        Or is one Suk involved? Or two?
        "...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..."

            Ah thanks....

            So the Schubert was "written for the shortlived Bohemian virtuoso Josef Slavík"

            (Not much of an epitaph is it? "Shortlived Bohemian".... ... I suppose he was also a virtuoso...)

                Kind of you... but I cannot get the 'Appeal to Fate' Josef. I need to absent myself awhile now. I'll return later, maybe someone will have nailed it. (It is usually written 'Josef' as opposed to 'Jozef' is it?)

                (Bit damp and chiily up there at the mo, ain't it, judging by the Athletics in Gateshead....)

                  You could try "czech appeal to destiny" in a high street search engine.....

                  But you have done superbly....

                  Yes today cold and wet but 3 daughters were at the stadium yesterday and have not stopped talking about Mo's kick at the bell!

                  Got me thinking last time I was there Viren upset the Geordie nation by beating Brendan Foster!!

                    Indeed.... (Did you notice the passing reference to Mr Farah which I slipped into my previous post?).

                    But blimey anton, you have dug deep for your Czechs...

                    Josef Klička (December 15, 1855 – March 28, 1937) wrote a choral piece for women's voices in 1919 called 'Appeal to Destiny'

                    Josef Suk: A Winter's Tale overture

                    Josef Slavík, for whom Schubert wrote his Fantasy in C for violin and piano...

                    ... to complete the ColeSlavík.



                    I really do need to go, should be back after 9pm with a big delicious bowl of...

                        The wait is over.

                        This K links Chopin's First Piano Concerto, Beethoven's 9 Symphonies and (less directly) Chopin's Op. 9 Nocturnes.

                          That'll be yer actual Friedrich Kalkbrenner innit - Chopin dedicated his first piano concerto to him. Kalkbrenner published transcriptions of Beethoven's nine symphonies for solo piano.

                            Badda-bing, as the late T Soprano Esq would have said...

                            Are you able to winkle out the Chopin Nocturne connection?

                              You sure it wasn't John Field you had in mind, connectednesswise?

                              Later: A-ha! Chopin's Nocturnes Op. 9 (1833) are dedicated to "Madame Camille Pleyel" - she studied with Kalkbrenner Badda-boom!
