I'd also say that if you read carefully, I've definitely given enough for it to be easily identifiable.

Ahhh... it's by (Alexander) Scriabin's tragically short-lived son, Julian.
So much great music, so little time...

nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

Also not mechaniques. I assume auto correct betrayed you. Melancholiques.

3 left. I guess you see what I meant by relatively familiar names.  ;D

The theme seems to be 'works by children of (more noteworthy) composers'.

It is! From his tone poem (?) "Sehnsucht".  ;D

Yes it is - sorry, I couldn't reply sooner, would have saved you the search. But the thrill of the chase and all that!

Good work. So, 3 and 5 left. Both had very famous dads. One of them has been discussed recently on this thread. The other is discussed everywhere, all the time.

#5, a Polonaise by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, maybe?

No, afraid not. No 1 was a Polonaise, by Mozart's son Franz Xaver. They are cool little pieces. And WF Bach's Polonaises are fantastic too. One of my many weirdnesses - ocassionally I like to spend an hour or so playing both sets through as a group of 'unexpectedly fine Polonaises by the sons of great composers.' But this isn't one of them. Much later
