Identify that composer's PICTURE game!

[Crudblud]

He premiered the work of a famous composer who had written it for another famous performer and composer but the latter turned it down.

Something tells me that famous composer was Berlioz and that work was Harold en Italie, so it would be Chrétien Urhan.

Exactly. Your turn, sir.

[Crudblud]

Here you go. Who's this handsome chap?

I looked up "cross-eyed composers" in google, but unfortunately got no useful results

William Boyce?

William Boyce?

Judging by the attire and the peruque style, the guy lived earlier than Boyce.

Really thinking about John Blow, got the B's mixed up.

[Crudblud]

It ain't Boyce, gents (and/or ladies). Nor's it Blow, although that's a pretty decent guess.

Google does know that he had strabismus.
But since I found him via Google, I will only say that Blow would think he lived on the wrong side of the sleeve.

Jean-Henri d'Anglebert

Jean-Henri d'Anglebert

Bravo ! I was pretty sure it was a french wig but did not recognized d'Anglebert.  I have heard a few of his harpsicord pieces but I cant say I know much of his music.

[Florestan]

Bravo !

Well, hat tip to Jeffrey Smith for providing the extremely useful hint that he was French and somehow similar to Blow. 

Who is this?

It's Mattijs Vermeulen, pretty easy to deduct.

Almost :-) correct: Matthijs Vermeulen (his real name was Matthijs van der Meulen; 'Vermeulen' is also a common name, nothing specifically artistic about, but better sounding). Another easy one, his contemporary:

Alright, let's try this one.
