If I remember correctly:
Does number 1 have to do with the Gianastasio's (forgive the spelling, it seems wrong)?
The two girls father was a headmaster (principal) of Karl's boarding school and he had two daughters. One was Fanny (no she was not a bottom, just a joke, ) and she actually liked Beethoven a lot, I think? She even had an intimate relationship with Thayer.- I hope, or I could not live. - written by H.G. Wells

Been doing some research:
1. The lark ascending is a work by Vaughn Williams.
2. Over the country the lark ascends.
3. Over the lake the lark ascends.
So my guesses are The Pastoral (sonata or symphony?) or the Moonlight, probably the former as that is where the lark ascends? Though, I may be completely off.Last edited by Preston; 10-31-2011, 03:00 PM.- I hope, or I could not live. - written by H.G. Wells

2. sketchy by name = most likely used a pen name... ?
did some research and found Voltaire... ?
though cannot make the connection other than the enlightement?
two other possible connections that i just found - Frederick the Great II (rumor said at times that Fredericko was Beethoven's father, and Beethoven agreed), and "all men become brothers".Last edited by Preston; 10-31-2011, 03:28 PM.- I hope, or I could not live. - written by H.G. Wells

No nearer I'm afraid yet with these worthy attempts! I'm surprised that no.3 is causing such a problem - it will be obvious when you know the answer. The first one is admittedly more difficult and perhaps a little too vague so I'll give a further clue - for 'Principalled lady' you might also read 'lady of the Principality' which was my first idea, but I thought it too obvious and didn't use it!'Man know thyself'
