Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-1953) - to be honest, I saw her portrait when I checked Amy Beach, my first guess. #research

Yes sir! She's the one.

Okay, let's now oblige to the rules and give the floor to Florestan's pending question. The one who solves his riddle, is entitled to present a new one:

I guess I might claim it's my turn, so who's this sweet little child?



He grew up to become famous and his music is quite popular on GMG.

[SymphonicAddict]

A pity a symphony-addict refrains from posting symphony composers - my special interest too - and starts teasing us with a some hairy Baroque master instead. 

Hehe, I wanted to change a little  .

And Florestan is right: it's Georg Muffat.

I guess it's his turn, but I see that you have already advanced.

Wait a sec, I have played quite a bit of music myself by a chap who looks like that................... (seen this photo before when learning some of his music but couldn't remember exactly where, had to look around a bit on the internet for composers who wrote music for guitar but I found the photo again here: http://villalobos.iu.edu/taxonomy/term/13?page=1 seems like it is Heitor Villa-Lobos, correct?)

Well done Jessop, that one was difficult. I didn't even attempt to look it up  .

Well I guess it is much easier if one has seen the photo before. I couldn't get most of the other ones and the ones I did know I was too slow to post their name!

This one could be very easy but I am not sure if he looks as familiar to most of us as a younger man as he did when he was a little older.

Karl Heinz?

Karl Heinz?

Yep, most definitely Stockhausen.

[kishnevi]

I am relying on Google for this to be an actual picture of the composer

Despite the title of his most famous work, he probably did not cry more than most people.

[André]

Well, your hint is actually a dead giveaway: John Dowland, composer of Lachrymae.

[André]

Going to bed, so I'll pass and let late nighters have fun !

Okay, I'll throw someone out there: who is this composer?

[Mirror Image]

If no one guesses by the end of the night, I'll post a hint tomorrow.

[Spineur]

I dont know who this is but I love his shirt collar with rounded corners.  It would be cool to wear a shirt like this today.

[SymphonicAddict]

Okay, I'll throw someone out there: who is this composer?

Certainly he is... someone I don't know 

I'll think on it.

[Florestan]

seems like it is Heitor Villa-Lobos, correct?)

Correct. 

[Florestan]

If no one guesses by the end of the night, I'll post a hint tomorrow.

You can post 10 hints, if you will, but I'd bet most people, including me (and possibly even you before looking for something to post here) have not even heard of him, let alone listened to his music, of which there is no available recording, anyway.
