I believe that is Grieg's wife next to Grainger but am not sure of the other fellow. TO be honest it looks like Max Reger.

Well looking around in the Grieg Society site I found the picture and its caption.
"Nina and Edvard Grieg with Julius Röntgen and Percy Grainger at Troldhaugen, 1907"

So you were right about Grieg's wife.

Hehe. At least I got THAT one correct. The other I was way off on.A stab in the dark.
Grainger has quite the look on his face.

Well considering his psychological profile, if I were Grieg, I'd be worried by that look..

True. He was not the most steady of fellows. He did compose some truly delightful music but his persona was not of a soul I would call all there.

Not only was he extremely anti-Semitic, he was prone to horrid fits of anger and depression as well as a major pain in the behind. Interesting to the nth degree but not someone I would invite to dinner for fear of all the crockery and utensils either breaking or flying through the air.

He would be quite a hoot for some though.

I really liked the pictures where a whole bunch of composers got together.

Reminds me a bit of this one: http://i47.tinypic.com/4n79v.jpg

Yeah those pictures are always the best!

Another Grainger one!


With Frederick Delius..

And Britten, Pears and Copland:


And how about Stravinsky with (technically) Sibelius?

How about Beethoven (technically) with Schubert (technically) then?

Love your pics TresPicos. I have visited Beethoven's grave in Vienna and it was a pilgrimage for me. When I stood beside the grave I felt a shiver go down my back.

I love it that some composers are always a "particular age" in popular/collective memory - you know, Brahms is always an old man with a beard, Schumann always middle aged, Mozart a child.
