Twould be great to have a tribute puzzle for Anna on her new health régime!

Which 'A' links a Beethoven sonata, a Haydn trio, a Sibelius suite and a concertante work by Weber?

To make things easier (honest!) I'll add a Mozart sonata.

LvB's Op10 #1 in c minor is dedicated to Anna Margarete von Broune
Haydn wrote a set of Piano Trios dedicated to Maria Anna (the wife of Anton Esterhazy)
Sibelius' Karelia Suite contains a movement with two highly esteemed Forumistas in the title (Anna Mercia)
And all Weber's concertante works are for a Soloist anna orchestra.

?

Did you but know it, you're very close to the correct answer!

Start with A for abstinence, B for boring, C for cous cous, D for dammit, cous cous again .....
No, I am only 3 days into Lent, I will emerge cleansed, leaner, purified and quite simply, radiant, glowing and positively fragrant.

I shall now watch Melvyn Bragg on Class

Clue No. 1: The two sonatas are for piano.
Clue No. 2: The Sibelius has already been mentioned (after a fashion)

Please elaborate...

Sibelius Alla marcia from said Suite
Haydn Alla zingharese Piano Trio
Mozza Rondo Alla Turka
Beethoven Alla Tedesca Piano Sonata Op79
Weber Clarinet Concerto Alla polacca

EDIT: correct spelling of "zingharese".

Off to bed now after a long and busy week. If alla is correct, I'll set a B's knees tomorrow morning. Or somebody else can now and I'll join in later. Or if I'm wrong.
Or we can just chat until we feel like a new puzzle.

Night Night, all.
