    One of them was. There seem to be an awful lot of organ builders named Johann Wagner. We need the middle names to distinguish them.
    Gottlob the inventor ...... ????

      That's the one. The two brothers required were roughly contemporary with this Johann Gottlob Wagner.

          You're doing brilliantly, Anton!
          "...the isle is full of noises,
          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            Those are the other two. They were part of an extended family of organ builders in Schmiedefeld in the second half of the eighteenth century, including a Johannes Wagner, the two sons of Johann Michael (i) [Johann Michael (ii) and Johann Friedrich], Johann Michael (iii), and Johann Gottlob [not the same one as in the question].

            The Johann Gottlob Wagner in the question worked in Dresden.

            After Wagner at such length I invite Anton to offer his choice of X, Y, Z, or A.

              As Anton appears to be functioning on a US-based body clock at the moment for some reason, we expect a puzzle momentarily!

              (Breakfast is going to be tough to listen to this week, I suspect. Lady G can have her kippers at lunchtime! )

                    Does this need translating into French (or Walloon)?

                        Théophile Ysaÿe composed:

                        Le Cygne (The Swan), op. 15
                        Les Abeilles (The Bees), op. 17

                        (his brother [Eugène Ysaÿe] composed the opera Piére li houyeû to a libretto in Walloon)
