The China Daily always repays study. A list of items on a Beijing concert programme, c1987, once included (I kid you not)

Anyway, the title puts me in mind of the classic
- Cave overture by Fingal,

- Pique-nique by Edouard Ibert (Jacques’ little-known kid brother—Ted to his friends).
This is in the same ball-park as the Martin string quartet.
And Swan Lake has come out in Chinese as Goose Pond…
