I don't think any of these composers are actually Greek, but I'll give it
a stab.:-)
>Sgambati
Probably Giovanni Sgambati (1841-1914), a fairly well-known Italian
composer associated with Wagner and Liszt. AS&V has been releasing quite
a bit of his music on CD. The piano quintets are particularly fine, as is
the piano concerto. Check:

>Sinigaglia
This one is new to me, and there are a couple to choose from. My bet is
Leone Sinigaglia (1868-1944), a pupil of Dvorak who was born and died in
Turin. Novello publishes a few of his orchestral works: two "Danze
Piemontesi" Op. 31, and Two Characteristic Pieces Op. 35. Check:

I can only find references to chamber music on CD:

>Bohlmann
I can find mention of a clarinet piece by a Ernst Bohlmann, but no dates or
anything else. Is it possibly Leon Boellmann (1986-1897)? Perhaps the name
of the piece would give an additional clue.
