        With a twinkly kick up the jacksy from ferney!

        The main theme twinkles in from about 3 mins 45 after a lot of noisy bluster (the style reminds me of the Warsaw Concerto):

              I was coming back to set something, and found you'd got here first anton... Feels rather desolate in the AA corridor these days

              However, I may have solved your rather abstruse "F"!

              Is it F for Finnegans (Wake)?

              One Don Shirley wrote a tone poem based on the Joyce book http://www.nathankramer.com/donshirley/bio.htm

              John Cage wrote Roaratorio, an Irish circus on Finnegans Wake in 1979

              I Dreamt That I Dwelt in Marble Halls from Michael Balfe's opera The Bohemian Girl, features in Finnegans Wake




              Ker-ching... the penny's just dropped... "Wake"...

                    Well the Shelley was used as the basis for two operas written by composers with names that begin with G, names Goldschmidt and Ginastera.

                        Naxos Library tells us:

                        "Alberto Ginastera’s dazzling Glosses on Themes of Pablo Casals, heard here in both its original version for string quintet and string orchestra and its later fully-orchestrated version, pays tribute to his close friend, the legendary cellist (and composer) on the occasion of the centenary of Casals’s birth. The Variaciones concertantes places a variety of instruments in the limelight with featured solos, culminating in a virtuosic malambo, the archetypical gaucho ‘jousting’ dance whose vertiginous motion engenders frenetic enthusiasm among both participants and onlookers."

                        Howzat?
