Lots of fun! I have an old book that I'm guessing is out of print, since I can only find it listed at used bookstores: "Great Composers in Historic Photographs". Brahms is on the cover with wild hair and shaggy beard. Published in 1981 when I was already 27 years old... It is worth looking up a used copy.

Sam Smith That sounds like a wonderful book! I am on it! I want to read it! Thank you, Sam!

Sam Smith I just requested it through our public Library! Thanks, again!
