Alphabet associations - I

[Flay]

Musical "picture" that are tripartite

Unusual grammar. Is that intentional?

[edashtav]

No, it's sloppy grammar, Flay, caused by altering part of the clue but failing to see the impact on the whole. triptych has become redundant because I've narrowed the clue by excluding "art".

I need to go the whole hog.

Is the Hog a clue eds as I am struggling more than a little.......

Perhaps the 'tripartite' bit refers to a device which produces three reflected images within a cylinder or a tube of some sort. There is certainly a ballet company with the name but I cannot make another other connections. Unfortunately, as far as the solution is concerned, I am away to France in the morning and shall not be able to participate further.
All the best from Liverpool
where the wind is rising, again.

Bon voyage, Angle - where to in France and for how long?

Whatever, I hope it's a great trip and that we see you on these fair shores again e'er long

Sorry to hear about your carminative condition, Don. Enjoy the trip!

I've been chewing this one over today too, without success. But I think there may be more of a chance now.

Don't lose heart and spill it all yet, Ed!

(mind you gentle hints will be welcome)

did the Kirov inaugurate with Romeo & Juliet ? would Debussy's Images be tripartite "pictures" ?

[edashtav]

Sorry, Anton, Hog and all his cuts are irrelevant.

Debussy's Images is an analogue but not a model for my tableaux.

Kirov has had a chequered history (does it exist today in Russia, or only when abroad?), but neither Kirov nor R&J appear in my answer.

Small pointer: all the composers that are linked in the clues came from one nation.

[mercia]

so K could be
- the country of origin of the three composers (unlikely)
- the shared surname of the three composers (unlikely)
- the shared forename of the three composers (possibly)
- the shared birthplace town or city of the three composers (possibly)
are the composer and his wife the Messiaens or the Strausses ? is the Shakespeare A Midsummer Night's Dream ?
I've been looking for works in three tableaux and so far have found Gerhard's ballet Soirées de Barcelone and Granados's opera Goyescas

[edashtav]

None of those is correct, mercs.

[subcontrabass]

My investigations suggest that we are in the Kremlin.

[cloughie]

The only pictures I can think of are the Respighi Botticelli ones but that does not give me the special K!

[Flay]

A late Nocturne, not for piano, that caused displeasure

Could this be Debussy's? (But I can't link it to a K)

The complete suite was first heard... on 27 October 1901. The initial performances met with a cool response from critics and the public

[edashtav]

No, a later, conservative composer, I'm afraid, flay.

[edashtav]

My 3 tableaux are contained within a Tableau that, when given its full expression, demands (1 + 6) tubas, cloughie. Sort of special K
