Ok, I know you've said Best Composer Comb-Over, but this one is a shocker:

Durch alle Töne tönet
Im bunten Erdentraum
Ein leiser Ton gezogen
Für den der heimlich lauschet.

I know a composer babe here in Beijing. Everyone wanted her to be a fashion model but she decided to follow her passion and be a composer. Far less money, publicity and men ready to please, but she seems genuinely happy. She's 26.

Mel Bonis (French, 1858-1937) would get my vote:



Clara Schumann was hot too  ;)

If we are to take this painting as an example, Germaine Tailleferre was a bohemian babe.

The picture displays nothing but her head!  ;)

I always thought Bartók was a handsome gentleman. But he looked really dorky in his teens!  :D

I don't know about female composers, but I'm fascinated by Martha Argerich's mysterious looks.

The head, outside and in, is the most important part of a woman. And too, Brahms and Schumann both thought she was hot; I'll take their word for it.

Agree completely, but do you think she looks hot? On that picture?

Why don't you cut the chases and say "does that picture give you an erection"? Is that what this is supposed to mean?
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

Yes, I do. I like this picture too:




What we find attractive is often mysterious, and always individual. But yes, I find her appealing: the small mouth, her large dark eyes, dark hair and mid-19th century hairstyle.

Agreed.  It's her eyes.  I'm sure it wasn't just Joe and Bobby that were attracted to her.  ;D
