That's the first Monday's album? Can you post the full picture as it looks like the cover is different from mine. I thought it was John Cale, but puzzled over that bottom left picture.

I'm not very good at these things, but, trying to avoid dropping the ball for a second time (what kind of a contest has the winner having to do a bunch of work ?? 
), let's see if this one works.
There's a link between all of these which might help you figure out some of the answers.
1. Name the Jazz keyboardist/composer who wrote a piece during the 1960s that was successful both as an instrumental and when it was recorded with lyrics by a pop group of the era.
2. Name the very influential 20th century composer who taught for years at some important universities on the West Coast of the U.S. of A. and reportedly was rather fearful of the number 13.
3. Name the composer who as a child prodigy was admired by the likes of Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss and Giacomo Puccini, and later in life went on to receive an Oscar for the score of a major Hollywood film.
4. What's the cinematic connection between this guy
and this LP?

Is it Korngold?

Well, since there hasn't been much of a response, let's go ahead and give this one away.
Indeed, Erich Wolfgang Korngold is the right answer. Gustav Mahler passed away in 1911, so it kinda had to be someone from the really early days of the Oscar for best score. He won in 1938 for the The Adventures of Robin Hood. From what I recall he was also nominated for the scores of some other films.
So, the question is, what about Korngold might also apply to the two guys in the prior questions?

Frank should always be the link!stanlea wrote:The link should be FZ himself, and I guess n°2 could be Edgard Varese.
Sadly, in this case, neither one is correct. However, it can be easily argued that both of them were influenced (as were many important composers of the second half of the century) by the guy that question #2 refers to.
Does the link have to be a person? Maybe it could be a place. Perhaps even a very important place in the history of so-called Classical music.

Another angle:
Brian Eno referenced the Jazz keyboardist/composer in question #1 in the title of a piece from an album in which he reportedly first used a compositional aid that has subsequently also been employed by folks in various fields, including the Director of the film in question #4 (although in an earlier movie).
