Alphabet associations - I

I honestly don't think I deserve the chance to set the next question, seeing as the reference to 'Actress Farrah' made it obvious that the answer was 'Fawcett' and I didn't have the faintest answer why this was so. Would somebody else like to set 'G'?

Try a simple G to move things on:

What G connects:

(1) an English composer with an aristocratic German surname;

(2) a German composer with an English surname;

(3) an Austrian composer who made his living conducting operas, but none of whose operatic compositions survive?

Sorry not to have made myself clear: by 'somebody else', I meant somebody else who'd attempted to answer the 'F' question (which, to be honest, I answered only in order to bring its, and everybody's, misery to an end).

Nonetheless, the die is cast and the prophecy that G of AA's heirs the murderer shall be!

I'm presuming that SCB's use of "simple" is a comparitive and it's not so simple a link as a common surname beginning with G?

It was a clue. Perhaps a better one is that he was the only pupil of Brahms.
