                    Which 'T' inspired two compositions from one member of a musical family, and a further composition from another member?

                        The compositions (all inspired by 'T', although none of the names of the works concerned begins with 'T') may well have been performed in a particular place very early in the year.....

                          like New Year or Epiphany, say?
                          are we talking about the prodigious Bach family?

                            New Year, yes.
                            Bach family, no.

                              I haven't really got time to spend on this just now

                              I'm guessing the Strauss family at the New Year's Day concert

                                Both composers are indeed members of the Strauss family.
