Charles Rosen's The Romantic Generation mentions it and an essay by Hindemith (I think) says he "mastered" the instrument.

Danke :)

BTW, wasn't EVERY "great" composer a child prodigy?  (except for Elgar)

Er...nope. In the twentieth century I think it was the exception more than the rule.

Here's another two. Don't think they'll be too hard.

No disguising here - the composer in his full glory:

And I make no attempt to disguise these two, I just love this picture:

This one is also quite straightforward, I think

Finally, this one has done the rounds on this board a few times since I first used it as my avatar, so many of you know who this is; I include it for completeness' sake!

Kullervo

2 looks like Cage and Stockhausen.
4 is Schoenberg?

Guido

two more composers. Both of them are usually seen in photos when they were older.

is the first photo Antheil...and the 3rd Webern..

The third is indeed Webern the mountaineer. The first isn't Antheil, but it was hardly a fair question, was it!! I might as well tell you that it is Ligeti - the micropolyphonist at his most micro.

Please, no cheating on this one, just see if you can guess it as it is. I don't know how to do those fancy things Mark did.

Karl Henning?

I knew I made it too easy, I should have scrunched the image even more.

IOW, yes.  ;D

Kullervo

Reviving this. :)
