Ah bling as in Diamond?

David Diamond an American composer who revered Ravel. Apparently. Jim Diamond is a singer who wrote "Hi Ho Silver" so unwittingly I was on the right track

Is the French overture really French or just has a French title, used for the Diamond Jubilee?

Two diamonds correct - the overture is by a French composer with the forename Daniel.

Oh, Daniel Auber and his Crown Diamonds overture.
I'm too slow for this thread!

Finally shone for you, ed.

The Crown goes to tiggy - even if the Crown was his missing bit.

The coleslaw

Prefer a tiara anyday Cloughie!

An E to connect two pianists and a composer with a very open approach to his work.

Eugene is the only one on my List.

Sorry, not on my list.

Crown... tiara.... rather further down on the list.

[mercia]

a very open approach to his work.

does that mean a composer who wrote a lot of overtures ?
are we talking about three specific named individuals ?
is the nature of the connection that they all share the same name (beginning with E) ?
are they two specific named pianists or two pianists in the sense of a duet or a piece written for duet ?
are crowns or tiaras relevant to the answer ?

This sort of thing really Browns me off. No doubt it'll send others Wild and have them Earling 57 varieties of abuse at you.

Perhaps with Hinesight they'll see differently?

Well done so Ferney - is it too early for a little coleslaw? Your Fortune awaits you!

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Coleslaw for breakfast:

Earl Wild ("Classical" pianist)
Earl Hines (Jazz pianist - actually called "Earl", not following the "Duke", "Count", "King" prededents, as I'd previously presumed )
Earl Brown (Composer of such Mobile scores as Available Forms for orchestra, a page from which was used in every book on Twentieth Century Music written in the 60s & '70s - and which, to this day, I have never heard.)

But it's far too early to F-ervesce: I'll be back in an hour or so.

Best I can do (and I'm out between 11:30 and about 6:30):

An F to link:

The first of many, Pamina;
A bit lower, and her first was Dido;
And an actress inspired to learn the Piano.

What a shame it isn't Saoirse Ronan, ferney:

A rising Irish actress has confounded musical experts after learning to play a complicated Beethoven piano sonata in just 12 weeks.
Saoirse Ronan, 17, from Co. Carlow, Ireland, had never played the piano before but she was asked to play the role of a music-loving vampire in Byzantine.
Director Neil Jordan was left 'speechless' when she performed the difficult 'Piano Sonata Opus 2, No. 3' instead of miming her part in one scene.
