Only in rare cases, as I've said before, some puzzles just make immediate sense, many others have me thinking "WTF?"

If you have answered with three possible answers, one of them is correct.

We get the composer fairly easily.

Ant/Ton/Inn
DeVore/Jack

And thanks to @Matty01, we have Rusalka.

I can't relate these two clues to anything though.

Pinwheel/Windmill/Spinner?
Bernie Madoff/Banker/Fraudster/Ponzi?

😕

Perhaps a small stretch, but Madoffs Ponzi scheme and Dvorak’s Rusalka are spinoffs of fairytales- and Rusalka’s other title, opera 114 and Madoffs sentence for his crimes of 114 years offer a neat co-incidence

Ant = ANT
Weight = TON
Inn = IN
Devore Ledridge = DVOR
Jack = JAK
Pinwheel/Madoff = spin doctor = OPERAtor
Roo = RU
Dr. Jonas Salk = SALK
Ahh= A

So, Antonin Dvorak, Rusalka, was correct. But I wanted OPERA as part of the answer. But two of you did quite well. So I can’t give you a blue ribbon, so a red ribbon will have to do. Maybe this one was a bit tougher than my usual offering.

Why not have a new tack.

You have to answer the rebus with a rebus. Not the same one of course.

Or would that get a bit too confusing?
