Buut cease this endless prevarication: somebody get Kracking so that we can get the L out of here!

Rodolphe Kreuzer 1766-1831 - eventual dedicatee of Beethoven op 47 - though that could have been the Bridgetower Sonata

La mort d'Abel - 1810
Lodoiska - 1791 - with a chorus of Tartar(e)s

...... and thirdly ....... erm .... something else

He wrote a lot of etudes -didactic for the violin (the studious bit)

Lodoiska would have made a fine L, pity about that.

Here's one though to send you all barking mad or up the wrong tree: a far flung L to be found in an opera, a dreamy electro band and urban folk songs.

Yes! Dozens of books of the stuff - he was the most influential violinist of his age, and it was to him that Ludders dedicated the Kreuzer Sonata after a tiff with Bridgewater, the original performer. Kreuzer never performed the work, declaring it "unplayable and incomprehensible"!

The Sonata also gave Tolstoy the name for his novella.

Ahem. If I might be so bold, it's Kreutzer.

just retrieving this question before it gets lost - (not that I have a clue)

No, sorry, dreamy was not a clue, just a description. The band (no longer together 1990's early 2000's) was British based.
To reiterate however......

with 'mad' and 'far flung' I'm vaguely thinking lunar or lunatic - otherwise are dogs involved, barking or not ?
