    To borrow the notion of meetings, what Z should come to mind if you heard that the progenitor of a gentlemanly fantasia and the progenitor of an unbelievable wind-player met in Donostia?
    "...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..."

      The Incredible Flutist is a ballet composed by Walter Piston in 1938 + Rodrigo - Fantasia para un Gentilhombre ... both composed for Nicanor Zabaleta who was born In Donostria?

        I abase myself at your feet. Brilliant work in 6 whole minutes....

        Plaudits and a big fat A+ to you! Not to mention a gold if you just explain Donostia for the boys and girls...

          This A took what sounds suspiciously like ten liquid containers of a certain hue and created a set of variations with title relating to some ancient Mediterranean tales. This A also wrote a concerto and a symphony for a single instrument and a march for three oboes, bassoon & voices commemorating the death of a beloved pet that might have inspired a Monty Python sketch. A is alleged to have died under the weight of God's law.What A is it?

                      Did you mean 3 Concertos and 4 Symphonies? All in the same Opus as the Variations?

                        He seems to have written a piece for 3 oboes and a bassoon but on further research no voice or Monty Python!
                        There was on yet further research a trumpet ........maybe one to leave for the worm catcher....

                          Nope. I think the question does not read to give that possibility, surely

                          The question revolves around 4 compositions - a set of variations; a concerto for solo instrument; a symphony for solo instrument; and a march

                            I was looking at Charles-Valentin Alkan (Opus 39 covers all except the march, which has no Opus no.).

                                (for solo piano)

                                Nos. 4-7 are labelled as the four movements of a sympony
                                Nos. 8-10 are labelled as the three movements of a concerto
                                No. 12 is "Le festin d'Esope (Aesop's feast)", a set of variations

                                Marcia funebre sulla morte d’un papagallo, 2S, T, B, 3 ob, bn (1859) is the march on the death of a parrot.
