Photos of Composers/other Musicians!

Sousa & Saint-Saens. I wonder on what occasion.

No idea. Very early 20s, I suppose.

Will it help with 278 if you know that Percy has appeared (again) on the left?

It's not Cyril Scott or another one of those Frankfurters, is it? Doesn't look like Roger Quilter.

Puccini on the left.

As for the figure on the right...

Toscanini (with a beard?). Ansermet? (Surely not?)

Nope - you've got me.

Nope - you've got me.

It's not Verdi, is it? (Like Pabmusic my first thought was Toscanini...)

the source of the photo says Verdi but gives no other information

Yes, of course it could be Verdi. I've just never seen him from that angle and he looks - I don't know - more "robust". (And there's no reason on Earth why I should know better than you!)

Florent Schmitt? I have this picture somewhere.

[I recognise Charles Darwin's great-nephew on the right.]

Yep correct !

I must say I'm really enjoying this thread.

The composer is on the right.
Poignant photo considering what would soon happen to his brother (left)
Big clue that

[teamsaint]

I cheated, ( well half guessed then cheated) so I'll let others guess.

Hard to know what to say about a photo like that.
