      tentatively wondering if C might be chaconne with Pachelbel as the "six for the organ" suspect, but I shall think on

          The price is your continued virtuosic question setting & solving!

            Good start. The other two Johanns are linked to Pachelbel in a chain.

              I shall plump for the chaconne from Johann S Bach Violin Partita no. 2 in D minor

                That is number 2. If you find the chain from Pachelbel (via another Johann) you might end up with number 3.

                  unsure of this "chain". is a bit of wordplay going on ? I offer Johann Philipp Kirnberger

                    You have got there. Johann Pachelbel taught Johann Christoph Bach, who in turn taught his younger brother Johann Sebastian Bach, who (probably) taught Johann Philipp Kirnberger.

                    Over to you to drive us onwards.

                      how clever. I arrived by a less logical route.

                        bereft of inspiration

                        D

                        a Duo Concertant, an opus 10 set of 3, D801




                        hope cloughie hasn't left us. not nice to be ignored for days on end I guess. I think I was away from my computer at the time. feel free to ignore D for as long as you like

                          The answer.....dithyrambe.
                          Stravinsky, Medtner, and Schubert.

                          Hope not jumping the gun by responding (I don't understand the reference to Cloughie!).
                          Will try to invent an E soon.

                                Thanks, mercia.

                                I'm not sure that my original E actually fits the bill, so here's another; what E connects a stripper, a lunatic crooner, and a heroic product of incest?
                                Take your pick.
