Absolutely!  And I wonder what sort of music these two timid-looking intellectuals wrote:





or this dull peasant:

I thought Carter does.

But Feldman, on the other hand...

[Florestan]

I wonder what sort of music these two timid-looking intellectuals wrote:

Bartok Bela, timid??? He looks to me more like "Come on, baby, light my fire!"   

or this dull peasant:


?

That dull peasant wrote exactly dull peasant music... 

[North Star]

'True' Langgaard to me is Langgaard with (too) short trousers; can't find the right picture on the Internet, to my regrets.

Edit: perhaps this one gives an idea:

Minimalistic...

Son of a bitch! I can't get that triangle out of my head!

Poor Hans.  If he'd regained his senses and written a Concerto for 24 Triangles and Orchestra, its sheer awesomeness and shimmering brilliance would...well, I guess I would be the only person to love it.   0:)  Poor Hans.

As a trained psychologist, I'd have to say Frederick May! He looks like someone who needs to be hospitalised!

Lol...sad but true. He was mentally ill wasn't he? I believe he also suffered intensely from some kind of hearing problem (?).

Yes, moderately, and that being his only Beethovenian feature.

BTW, just heard his string quartet and it is so ordinary and boring as hell. Having heard the work gave me a better idea of the onset of his mental problems.

I haven't heard May's SQ, but I'll take your word for it. There's a disc of his orchestral works on the RTE Lyric label. I don't recall how the music was though.

I will pick that one up next week when I arrive in the US. Looking forward to it (and about a hundred or two more).

Except his eyes.  Every time I look at his eyes, I'm like, yeah, it is a lot of fun.  (This music.)  I am trying to remember any photo or video I've seen where Carter's eyes aren't twinkling.  As the body grew older, he looked more like a dapper, crafty gnome.  Prankster.

Love his eyes! You hit the nail right on the head!

You mean the one in the Chandos CD featuring symphs 4-6. A wonderful photo.

Thanks for super replies.
