          Thinking (no wiki) of:

          Liszt's Lugubrious Gondola (late piano piece)
          Sullivan's Gondoliers
          Mendelssohn wrote sort of Gondola-y Songs without Words, didn't he...

            That would work (especially for someone with Liszt-aversion and no Wiki!), but I was thinking about a piano piece from "years" before

            Sullivan's Gondoliers


            Mendelssohn wrote sort of Gondola-y Songs without Words, didn't he...
            - specifically one called Gondolier's Song ...

            ... which would take you back to your Liszt "pilgrimage"

              Oh blimey. Presumably something from the Années de Pélerinage in Italy... Just watching the end of my recording of the Grand Prix from this morning, double tasking is all I can manage, without advanced Liszt research...

                  Yes, your forte is providing high-concentrate clues rather than cryptic ones!

                  On which note, having kept the seat warm with ferney's 'joker G', the J is yours...

                        The J link is with water, children or on their own.

                          Yup!

                          Mendelssohn Gondolier's Song from the Piano "Songs Without Words"
                          Liszt's ditto from Vol 2 of the Years of Pilgrimage (Italy)
                          And Sullivan (& WSG) The Gondoliers (a comic opera based on a sexually transmitted disease).

                          Well done Cali and over to you, cloughie!

                            Not getting anywhere with this: too tightly packed for me! Any clues please?

                              Last night I wondered if "on their own" could be tod as in German "death" as in Kindertotenlieder. Then I fell asleep....
