Five composers who look like their music.

[amw]

None of the Langgaard pics look especially similar, which is I suppose another way he resembles his music >.>

[The new erato]

He's tall though, while many of his symphonies are pretty short.

[Cato]

First composer I thought of when I read the title of this topic:



Max Reger: "Don't tell me my music is 'craggy' or 'difficult' you little pisher!"

[springrite]

Max Reger: "Don't tell me my music is 'craggy' or 'difficult' you little pisher!"

"Here I sit, in the smallest room in my house, with your letter o criticism before me. Soon it will be behind me. Yours truly, Max Reger"

[Cato]

"Here I sit, in the smallest room in my house, with your letter of criticism before me. Soon it will be behind me. Yours truly, Max Reger"

Heh-heh! That line might be more famous than his music!     

[Szykneij]

Minimalistic...


   

This is more like it --

[vandermolen]

Like Boris Godunov:

[Sergeant Rock]

Well done

I'd say Carl Ruggles looks like his music

[DaveF]

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

Yes, he is rather devastatingly handsome, now you mention it.  OK, what about



(in which he looks oddly like former UK Prime Minister John Major)?

Most definitely!

Most definitely!

[petrarch]

The "mad scientist" picture, as Zappa called it:



Although I think this one is a better fit with the music:



(Edgar Varèse, 1883-1965)

[petrarch]

I always liked the intense serenity/turmoil duality in this one:



(Iannis Xenakis, 1922-2001)

If you post a picture would you please caption it with the name of the composer?  I've seen several posts on this thread where some poster thought some relatively obscure composer from the 20th century is well known by picture alone.  I assure you that is not the case with all of us.

[The new erato]

In this page Pettersson, Varese and Xenakis I guess are among the unmarked.

[DavidW]

Thanks!  Can you give me the other pages as well?

In case the image name doesn't help, there is always Google Image search.

Their browser add-on is very helpful in these circs.

Thank you. I am terrible with pictures and only recognized 3-4 so far.

Langgaatd, Berlioz (with the strange hair), Rott (triangle), Britten on p 1.

on p 2 I don't know the first one in Dave Fs post (though the face looks familiar), I think the others are named.
