The music for “The Creatures of Prometheus” (“Die Geschöpfe des Prometheus”) was composed between 1800-1801, under the request of Salvatore VIGANO, master of the ballet in Vienna.

The first performance of the ballet took place on 28th March 1801 at the Hofburg Theater in Vienna. It was a great success and had 16 consecutive performances in the first year.

The orchestration comprises:
2 flutes, 2 oboes, 1 clarinet and 1 basset horn, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, a harp and strings (the harp in no. 5 – the basset horn in no. 14).

hi luckyanne9- I think asking for answers for different crossword would have been better on a new thread.
I think the answer to 30d is TROIKA

[factor-fiction]

Sorry luckyanne- I just realised yours is the same crossword. I hope TROIKA was right
