"What history books and Biographies fail to mention was Einstein's early attempts to carve a career in singing. In fact, many people at the time could not deny his vast talent in the concert hall until Pavarotti's rise to fame, which forced Einstein into the field of Science"

ok.  first guess was godowsky on the left and bruno walter on the right.  am way off i guess.

i think they are ranked according to the amount of hair in this picture.  einstein is the only one looking at the camera.  little does he know that his bow tie is really messed up.

ok my caption:  'we three magi'

or 'they'll never know how short i am in this picture'

ok.

einstein to godowsky:  your left hand works at the speed of light.

einstein to schoenberg:  your right hand works at the speed of sound.

einstein to himself:  i'm just spooky action at a distance.

*godowsky is wearing a wig in the picture.  i think he went bald very early.  not that it matters when you're talented.
