Identify the following musician by name:
1. (1803-1869) He represents the French Romantic art of the 19th century in music - next to Hugo in literature and Delacroix in painting. Born in a village outside of Grenoble. His father a prominent doctor, who only wished that his son would follow in his footsteps.
At the conservatoire, he wasn't particularly liked by his teachers. He would mock them and abuse the firm and strict rules concerning harmony and structure. Three times he tried and failed (because of his 'different' music) to win the "Prix de Rome". He won the prize during his fourth attempt, for a cantata that he composed.
Hi ideal orchestra consists of 240 string instruments, 30 pianos, 30 harps, and an apropriate amount of brass and precussion instruments.
2. (1872-1915) A special personality among musicians from his nation - pianist and composer. His father was a lawyer and his mother was also a pianist, though she died while he was still a baby. He was a rebel to the music of his time, but he still won a golden medal for his piano playing. His first published works contain a strong Chopin influence. He used these works to go on his first concert tour. Following the footsteps of Chopin he composed: etudes, nocturnes, sonatas, ouvertures, impromptus, mazurkas, waltzes, etc. Afterwards, he started composing with a distinct voice that only his music has. The religious-philosophical and esthetical ideals, that were voiced in the Russian literature of the beginnign of the 20th century by Ivanov and the likes, influenced him too. In Belgium, he clung onto the local theosophical ideals, and used it to create his own vision, that is based on spiriitual-religious belief and the Indian mysterious spirit.
3. (here I am looking for the name of the man in the picture)
hint: he studied in Paris and wrote a lot of symphonic music in a style that was influenced by Bach. He was called back to come from Paris to his native country to start a music school there.
