        so we need a composer born in Baltimore and a composer born in Turin and three works beginning with T composed by them and Ms Zwilich and also a German composer (who has another link with one of those three)

              Yes, mercs. The link beween the German-born composer and one of the other three (the third, actually) is that they both happened to write a 'T' which shares not only a title but an opus number. The name of the work is the same in all four cases.

                    yes please
                    I think I've counted about forty composers born in Baltimore and Turin
                    and I can't find anything beginning with T in Ms Zwilich's output

                      There are FIVE listed here.

                        That link doesn't work on my PC. In any event, here's a clue:
                        One short of the Appassionata.

                          Link corrected, but there seem to be other problems.

                            I assume we are looking for an answer in triplicate.

                              The Zwilich work in question is listed on your link - and yes, yes, yes!

                                Alfredo Casella for the Turin-born composer?
