The answer is probably Vassily or Vassilly

V.Petrenko and his infamous comments re female conductors
Vassily Pashkevich - his Opera Fevey has a libretto by Catherine the Great ( and her hand may have been guided by M.Voltaire)
... then there's the unfinished ...

HELP!

unfinished

...... or incomplete

[edashtav]

Vasily (Wilhelm) Golike

A W that connects:

A Trumpet Concerto

This thread is educational - nowhere nearer the answer of this one but in checking out Trumpet concerti I discovered that Hummel's middle name is Nepomuk - I guess not one of those names that has come back into popularity.
