1 Stac-cat-o (Jazz fans = CATS reversed)

[Mamyalynne]

1 Staccato

[Lie-in King]

1a Staccato - 'cats' (jazz fans, back) + 'cat' (another) + 'o(ver)'

[Captain2]

15 Berstein? - Can see 'sent in' anagrammed

[Captain2]

That should read Bernstein

[Captain2]

Austrian composer = Berg so not finishing = BER

[Mamyalynne]

yes

Ber(g) + anag sent in - nstein

[Mamyalynne]

snap

15d Buttercup - 'c(aught)' (in) 'butter up' (employ flattery)
