Platinum's Cryptic Classical Quiz

The clues involve typical cryptic crossword wordplay. Punctuation may be deliberately misleading. The numbers in brackets indicate how many letters are in each answer. For example:
1)  A round of applause with the Spanish composer (6)          Answer: Handel
2)  Large instrument botched operation by introducing fluorine (10)        Answer:  pianoforte
3)  Oddly heavy, I don't get Austrian (5)        Answer: Haydn

Answer as many clues as you can and submit your entry by midday (BST) on Wednesday 20th May 2020.
