#14 Interesting to see his students. Should have some female composers in the lineup too.

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.
