Ravel is so wonderfully elegant. I see no creases. This tells you something about personality. He loved to have everything well organized. May be it is more typical for French composers than for Russian ones. Shostakovich was obviously occupied with his music more than with his looks (at least when he was older).
There are composers that have nice pencils (sharpened and all) ready to write their music. And there are spontaneous composers that write on their sleeves and other inapropriate places.
Who else had no creases? Or who had them?

Ralph Vaughan Williams must be a hot favourite as Britain's most crumpled composer. Some artfully distrait crease-work on the upper trouser area here which would surely impress the judges.  |

Love that crumpled look, George!
Look back at those Ravel snaps Ollie posted. He's down to the last inch of his cigarette in all three of them! Back in the days when an elegantly held gasper was part of being chic, of course.

I think now composers are aiming for casual look, folky everyday man sort of thing.

Such as this?  Or this (the one on the right)?  |

And then of course there's this ever-stylish chap:  To whom I hear it was once said: "Morty, you're so ugly. If your music wasn't so beautiful no one would ever far queue." Don't know exactly what they might have meant by that. I assume they meant no one would ever stand in a long line to see him but it seems a funny way to say it. |

I don't know these two composers. Who are they? I tried to find Schiarino, but could not. May be he did not give them his picture. This is Ian Wilson, who is a composer in Sligo. His music was played by RTE orchestra on tour to the USA.  |

Here's Sciarrino, t-p:  Do you know Ian? Say hello from me - I met him in Sligo in 2004. He might remember me. I was there with Rebecca Saunders:  t-p, to find out who these people are you can right-click on the picture (or control-click on a mac) and then select properties. That will probably have a link to the picture and they usually have the name in them. Or you can click on the 'quote' button to reply and the web address will appear in the message where the picture was. |
