Thanks for all your entries
We had 11 setters and 34 clues and some of you were quite prolific (Mattrom, Spike and Buddy).
I had to tabulate on the back of an envelope but we do have a clear winner. Those with 5 votes or more are:-
On 5. Buddy #2, Spike #24, PDS #28, Mattrom #30
On 6. Aristo #4
On 8. Mattrom #8

However with 11 votes we have Buddy taking the Gold for his amusing and musically themed

Composer incorporates second note: it's a breakthrough! (6)

I liked all three of the top clues.

Here are your prizes:-

First time for an honourable mention for me!

Mattrom's (@30) hidden was better than mine though I have to admit.

Congrats Buddy that was probably my favourite clue also.

Congrats buddy (jealous!) and thanks dorrien fo adjudicating and coming up with relevant prizes...

Congratulations, Buddy. Thanks for hosting, Dorrien.

Votes from Jono, Tyke51, Aristo, Fieryjack, Patrich, Paradigmshifter and Paul, all much appreciated!

Ethel also sends her thanks for the votes and for the new outfit.

I also originally wanted to use Bach in some way and came up with "Queen backed into composer of fugues" but Buddy beat me to it so I started looking for a hidden.

Wow, thanks to all for the votes and, it seems, to Chris for being uncharacteristically slow on the draw.

I liked the clips - I recall the dambuster raid as a theme for one of the puzzles (EV or Listener?) not too long ago. Many more than just two notes in that last clip! Apparently there are some classical works built around just one note.
