As far as I can google, it's not Johann Strauss, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Bruckner or Brahms.

Well done harmonyharmony and tonybob.

Schubert's Sterbhaus it is.

For the What? I was looking for 'his brother Ferdinand's apartment'. One reference gives the Where? as Kettenbruckgasse, Vienna. Is that also in Naschmarkt tony?

Naschmarkt is a long thin "market square", and Kettenbrückengasse is a small street that goes off it to the left (next to the U-Bahn station named after it) if you're walking away from the centre.

Not Alois Haba.

This photo will be about 50years later, probably the same keyboard?

You said that the keyboard was scary. Is it unusual (e.g. microtonal?)

I'm not Michael. He's not around this week. He's the technie, I'm the music nut  Smiley


Yes the keyboard is unusual, built ~1927.

trained-pianist might know him  Wink

He met Messaien in 1937.

In 1945, Gisele Peyron and Mady Sauvageot, sopranos, Lili Fabregue, viola, Yvette Grimaud, Yvonne Loriod, Pierre Boulez and Serge Nigg, pianos give a concert of works by the composer.

A combined google of some of those name might reveal   Cheesy
