Hmm, Adams has a really naff sweater on in that pic from t-p a few messages back.

If you're going to do the baggy woolens thing, learn from the master:



Yes, yes, there we go.  He is my personal sartorial compositional idol.  Unfortunately my face is not yet that wrinkly; but then I'm in my mid-20s.  Give me fifty years.

Of course speaking of captions this is fairly begging to happen:

(Plus Rebecca S seems to have a shaft of light bursting through her chest - is this just to make the point to OS that she is holier than him?)

If you look very closely it's the edge of a music stand... don't know if that was spotted or not.

(Actually even if you don't look closely it stubbornly remains the edge of a music stand.)

Messian's scarf was made from left overs of some sweaters or something. Sometimes we made sweaters from old sweaters or even sockes undone. May be his is not from socks.

Was Ligetti really a violent man. He is not that wrinkled and not very old. What young people in their 20s think as wrinkled and old is not really. If one looks at last picturs of Shostakovich he does look more wrinkled, but Ligetti is not that wrinkled.

When the picture below was included on the cover of Paul Griffiths's book on Messiaen, we were informed that the scarf this composer adorns emerges from the knitting skills of one Yvonne Loriod:



Ha! - I was just about to post that one. L'écharpe aux couleurs de la cité célèste, or some such.

Ligeti was a snappy dresser back in the day:

This Ligetti is a pank (or is it punk?). He looks good for some hard metal cover of CD.
What was he thinking about? What the future generations will think about him (based on his cloths)?

I don't know WHAT they will think, but I do at least hope that they WILL think, at the very least to the extent that they no more judge a CD by a composer portrayal on its cover than they would judge a book by its cover; as to the specific matter of Ligeti's clothes, one can only hope also that the future generations that you mention do not simply take one look at this CD cover and make unwarranted assumptions about the emperor's new ones...

Best,

I also have it on excellent authority (from the man who took the photograph himself) that he'd never seen so many dropped stitches in his life!

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

This is Barshai and he is not going to be caught on any camera with any creases.
