Johann Sebastian Bach, (1685–1750) 
This composer of baroque music composed church music, masses, cantatas as well as clavier music for the keyboard, ensemble sonatas, fugues, and concertos for various instruments. We see Bach as a short stout gentleman in his work or concert attire.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, (1756–1791)
Mozart, writing music in the Classical Style, composed sonatas, symphonies, and solo repertoire. His symphonies were quite flamboyant. He wore wigs of various styles along with brightly colored clothing. Most portraits glamorize him, but we found some that did not. He had quite a nose with a slight hook.

Ludwig van Beethoven, (1770–1827)
A composer who teeters between the classical period and the romantic composed nine symphonies, chamber music, church music, solo works and concertos.  Most artists captured his angry side and as an older man. We found portraits of him as a younger pleasant-looking man before his deafness occurred.

Johannes Brahms, (1833–1897)
A man with blonde hair and blue eyes, Brahms was of the romantic era, writing symphonies, choral works, lieder for voice, chamber music, concertos, and piano music.
