    To save anton a few mouse clicks in Wikipedia:

    Franz Schubert had several (well 3) titles:
    An die Nachtigall, ("To the Nightingale") D 497
    An die Nachtigall, ("To the Nightingale") D 196
    Auf den Tod einer Nachtigall, ("On the Death of a Nightingale") D 399

          They all wrote an overture. Surely not that easy

          But it could be Ode

          Coronation Ode - Elgar

          Beethoven - Ode to Joy

          Purcell - Ode to St Cecilia (amongst others)

              Forgive me for harping back and plucking out this reference. Wiki tells us that Smetana had tinnitus and that in the quartet:
              Its notable features include a prominent viola solo at the very beginning of the first movement, and a high, sustained harmonic E on the first violin in the last movement, which represents the ringing in his ears that presaged Smetana's deafness, although the actual ringing was a chord in A.
              It also appears that Schumann also had tinnitus, and this too was for the note A. How odd!

                          I assumed it was Giuseppe Torelli, Wolfgang Rihm and Johannes Tinctoris

                              Giuseppe did it in 1914, Wolfgang in 1951 (my favourite) and Johannes also did it in 1914.
