It's a Renaissance kitty playing a lute! I don't recall the artist's name, and a quick search was not fruitful.

Apparently this is his website.

Plenty of medieval/Renaissance cats, but also Soviet poster cats, a Sherlock Holmes cat, and some others.

I had no problem finding the image—couldn't find the artist.

The idea that Stockhausen actually had hits tickles me, all the more so a cassette tape containing such hits as Kurzwellen (The Beginning), Kontakte (The Middle Part), Song Of The Youths (The Last Part) :laugh: .

The other albums in this 1970s series from DG are more convincing in terms of material although some of the artwork choices might be a little strange...









Possibly Berlioz would have appreciated the soft porn of the compilation on which appears his Ballet Of The Sylphs ;) .

A Fazioli F308 grand piano. My dream piano and partial namesake of my cat Fazi!

I wasn't familiar with that show before now (briefly googled...Wiki).  Looks like something that I might have fun watching.  :)

Re:  moi.  I am a fan of Sibelius (Now, don't look so shocked!).

Mine is a picture I took myself: a view of the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, with a rocky outcrop and flowering sparton bushes (Spartium junceum) in the foreground. It's the only avatar I've ever used on the forum.

Nice!

You could have monetised it with BIS...  ;) :

I decided to change my avatar every year, according to which composer is celebrated. This is the year of Puccini. Next year, Johann Strauss II and in 2026 Weber.  :laugh:

That's all nice and thoughtful, but you can commemorate any composer you want in your signature.

Now Bring. Back. The. Flowers!  :laugh:

I was thinking of the van Gogh ones. I don't remember the other painting, which is also quite nice.

The Van Gogh was my very first avatar and I had it for a very long time. I had the Luchian one (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C8%98tefan_Luchian) two or three years ago, I think.

Okay, I'll revert to the Van Gogh.  :laugh:

I did a Google search by uploading your avatar image and the artist's name in question is Nathan Nun.

In fact, here's his website:

My avatar is pretty self-explanatory: Claude Debussy.
