'fraid not (who are they?)

my 1924-born was a violinist, the 1952 and 1954-born his children - male violinist/conductor, daughter pianist
his wife (a violinist, born 1919) was the sister of a famous pianist (born 1916), surname beginning G
all Russian
I think there's a third generation of musicians too, but I won't complicate matters

well, rightly or wrongly, of my Austrian symphonists I have so far eliminated Mahler and Bruckner (do we call Mahler Austrian?)
plenty more to go ........................

[Dave2002]

Franz Xaver wunderkind was apparently a conductor ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_X...olfgang_Mozart

I was wrong to eliminate Bruckner, it would seem
