    Only two to go and you'll find them obvious once you know!!
    One of the two is again especially for you Quijote as it should be more familiar to you.

      No. 3 is a real pain!

      It might be a scene in George Sand's novel "Lucrezia Floriani" where Prince Karol visits the heroine's retreat in Italy.
      Lucrezia is based on Sand herself, while Prince Karol is said to be based on Chopin.
      So is Chopin the answer?

        You're very good at this Michael! Yes Prince Karol (based on Chopin) is the character in Sand's novel "Lucrezia Floriani" - however the second part of your answer isn't correct, but I think Quijote will get it now, if you don't first!

        I will credit you with this one anyway once the complete answer is there - you needn't wait 12 hours, post when you like on this one.

              Q6 : This is for a good song.
              Completely adrift I am with this one! Let's try to dissect it (entering into Peter's twisted cryptic mind).
              "This" : What could "this" thing be? An anagram? That gives "s**t" or "hits". No joy there.
              "good song". An anagram? Only nonsense words, so no joy there!
              What does one need for a good song? Good lyrics? A good melody? A good voice?
              Words related to good song? Which is why I proposed Bel canto, but that didn't work out.
              Good = God? Tenuous! Still, let's persevere: A "God" song? A chorale?
              Cor, ale! (Always need a bit of booze to have a jolly sing along, no?)
              Ah, dammit, I give up!!

                A good snog? Somehow I don't think so.

                  The key is of course "a good song". And "This". And not forgetting "is for". See, I'm getting there slowly by turning in endless circles. Which is exactly what Peter intended all along. I'll have my revenge for this, I will.

                    This is for a good song. A good song this is for. For this is a good song. Song good this is for, a? Is a good song this for? Song good a for is this. And so on.

                      A total anagram of "This is for a good song" gives : A Dogfish Roosting So. Hmm ...

                        Maybe it works better in a different language?

                          Lied(er)? Chanson? Cancion? Cantata? Bach's Good Friday Cantatas?

                            Or maybe synonyms of "song" such as hymn, carol, anthem ...?

                              What makes for a good song? Any language. Maybe a song title?

                                Beethoven Opus 108: Twenty-five Scottish Songs, No. 1 "Music, love and wine"? If that's right, it's thanks to a previous suggestion by Sorrano.
                                Or maybe No. 19, "Wife, Children and Friends"?
