Musical Signatures
Here are the signatures of several (though by no means an exhaustive list of) great classical composers, presented in reverse chronological order. Please comment with omissions and I will try to add any requests to this collection.

Franz Liszt, Arnold Schoenberg, Johannes Brahms.
also: Gustav Holst, Richard Strauss.
I am trusting the page that contains the two above signatures for confirming their validity, though I know nothing about it.
You might be able to find better versions of all five signatures elsewhere.
And yes, I realize you might not consider Holst to be a great composer (I'm not a big fan of his myself), but the others are clearly great, I think.
Liszt is the most obvious omission, and I left him out because I don't really like the shadows under the signatures at classical.net, although I did use their image for Debussy. I will use the Strauss and Holst images you included, and I'll look a bit harder for better versions of the other three. If I can't find others I suppose I'll swallow my pride and use the shadowy ones.
