I thought Debussy. I don't know the full answer but he was obsessed by Spring. Did he write 34 letters to a mentee?

No I think I've got that wrong!

[Norfolk Born]

Not Spring, I'm afraid. No piano works are involved, but one does involve singing.

[mercia]

quite tricky finding out who wrote 34 of anything (besides Rossini's thirty-four operas, which I think are irrelevant)

[Norfolk Born]

The third element is the twelfth of thirty-four numbers (in the musical sense) of a work which involves plenty of singing but is not an opera.
You might also like to think about pieces that are sometimes published six at a time....

The second and third elements lead to "Sunrise", but I cannot get the first one yet.

[Norfolk Born]

'Sunrise' is correct: the 'Sunrise' Quartet Op. 76 no. 4 and the description of the sunrise in 'The Creation'.
The first element is actually the first of four of the sixth of one hundred and four...

Haydn Symphony No 6 ('Le Matin') is usually described as the first of a set of three symphonies. The first movement (which is what I assume you are referring to) is specifically seen as depicting sunrise.

Now you're just being silly

Full house, scb! Over to you for a 'T'.

(The first of the four movements of Haydn's Symphony No. 6 depicts the sunrise, as does the first movement of the fourth of the six Opus 76 quartets - but the name applies to the whole work - as does the twelfth number in 'The Creation')

This T went round in the eighteenth century, visited Italy in the nineteenth century, and went round again in the twentieth century.

That's shut everyone up.

May I proffer a trio of Turners?

William - a baroque composer and singer
JMW - the painter
Charles - a composer, also involved in espionage, who managed to infiltrate Hitler's inner circle at Bayreuth?

I am not looking for a person's name. Think about what "goes round" musically.

Wot, you mean like a canon?

No.
