    Works for me, but apparently not!

    EDIT: Ahh! I see now what you did with your "looking up Bruckner" post!

          Then the only "d" left is "Day": the Noon Day Witch Op 108?

                  One of the joys (after the event!) of these puzzles are the lovely teas shops in the blind alleys with their beautifully laid-out garden paths! Many of my puzzles are the direct result of finding fascinating - but "wrong" - information during "research"! (And I often wish the answers to my puzzles were as elegant as the "wrong" answers offered by others. No doubt, they do, too!)

                  I'm out now 'til about three pm, when I hope to have an E, by gum!

                      Just thought of this:

                      Which E links two sets of Baroque Orchestral Suites
                      and Symphonies by Haydn, Mahler and (after Toscanini) Stokowski?


                      Best Wishes; back later!

                        "...the isle is full of noises,
                        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                          Echo?
                          There's a Haydn symphony (no. 38) with that name. Echoes feature in orchestral suites by Telemann and Purcell, and Stokowski composed a piece based on, or did an arrangement of, the latter's echo. Still thinking about the Mahler!

                            Not "Echo", sorry.

                            The four components each have a different title, collectively leading to the (non-musical) E.

                            Stick with Telemann, though: different work.
