@MrBassflute: Sitting left: Béla Bartók. Sitting right is Zoltán Kodály. Standing around: The Waldbauer StringQuartett: Kerpély, Waldbauer, Molnár, Temesvári. The picture was made (I think) 1910. Maybe 1911.
Bartók, Kodály and members of the Waldbauer-Kerpely Quartet (from left to right: Jenő Kerpely, Imre Waldbauer, Antal Molnár, János Temesváry), 1910 (photo: Aladár Székely)
Correction: I think I'm right about Imre (father of my teacher Ivan, at Brown). But it might be the Vegh or the Waldbauer-Kermeley? 4-tet. I think there are some stories about how they merged into the Hungarian 4-tet, tho. Not sure. Maybe one can google this.
The second figure must be Bartok and the third--looks exactly like my piano teacher at Brown, so it must be his father, Imre Waldbauer, the first violinist of the Hungarian Quartet which played Bartok's music. However, this music is entirely piano.
yes lol they look like they're writing a new declaration of independence or something! i appreciate how his playing isn't so ostentatious like some other classical composers. it shows that you don't have to play a thousand notes a minute to create something worth listening to.
Wow

The guy on the foreground right hand side (also holding a score) must surely be Zoltan Kodaly.
