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?

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

Plaudits and a big fat A+ to you! Not to mention a gold

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?Comment

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....Comment

Nope. I think the question does not read to give that possibility, surelyOriginally posted by subcontrabass View Post
The question revolves around 4 compositions - a set of variations; a concerto for solo instrument; a symphony for solo instrument; and a march
