Identify that composer's PICTURE game!

[Turner]

Indeed. Well done!  And the Albert Camus hint was a reference to Blomdahl's ballet Sisyphos (which, by chance, as a very young man I saw a rehearsal of in Lucerne in 1975 under IIRC Antal Dorati).

oh, I see, didn´t have the possibility to check the quotes at first, since I just had my mobile phone.

In stead, it will be this experimental composer:

Hint: her most well-known work is an orchestral piece lasting less than 9 minutes and dealing with autumn etc.

Any more clues?

I gather from the paraphernalia in the picture that this lady might be American, but cannot progress any further from there...

Did the Google Image trick. She was quite well-connected to modernist celebrities, including one of your heroes.

Indeed, some Polish connections too ...

Oh! By pure chance, I remembered that in this CD (which I got for the Boulez and Dallapiccola works it includes)...



...also had  a piece by a female composer with a Polish sounding name (I remembered her given name, Lucia, not more than that). I must confess I haven't listened to that piece, but it turns out she is our mystery woman: Lucia Dlugoszewski...

To Reynaldo Hahn? ? ? ? ?  How strange!

No, I actually meant Telemann...

Yes, I think that is a classic and fascinating work by her. Your turn!

[ritter]

OK...here goes.

Who's this fellow?



First hint: these understated clothes bear little relation to his usual demeanour or his scores.

If he were American, I'd be going against my own trend, wouldn't I?

Sylvano Bussoti?

Sylvano Bussoti?

Wow! That was quick...

Here his more flamboyant, younger self (next to Cathy Berberian):



...and one of his wacky graphic scores:



Your turn, Andrei!

[Florestan]

Wow! That was quick...

One can instantly tell his orientation, if you know what I mean... 

...and one of his wacky graphic scores:

You mean to tell us that somebody can play that? 

Your turn, Andrei!

Who's this dashing young man? (the hint is the image itself)

That has nothing on Ferneyhough

[Florestan]

At least in Ferneyhough there are clearly recognizable notes. Bussoti's score looks rather like of one of my son's scribblings. 

I admit, though, that subito piu intimo can give the violinist a big headscratching, even a big headache. 

[vandermolen]

Sylvano Bussoti?

Never heard of him.
Did he manufacture biscuits?

Saint-Saens of course!

That was quick! Your turn, of course.
