I know 2-5 but I have to guess on #1. Is it Ashkenazy perhaps?

These are probably mostly wrong:
1) Ashkenazy (actually my first guess was Cortot, but since I have no idea what I'm talking about...)
2) Gould
3) Rachmaninoff?
4) Ives?
5) Horowitz
6) I dunno but the picture freaks me out
7) Shostakovich, aka. Harry Potter

If I got No. 4 wrong I'd be ashamed. It is, of course, Sviatoslav Richter.
1) Ashkenazy
2) Gould
3) Prokofiev
4) Richter
5) Horowitz
6) Andre Watts
7) Shostakovich

I think #6 is Alfred Brendel

No, it's not Watts. The picture is a little misleading - I don't think his skin is really that dark, judging from other photos.

No 2. looks like Claudio Arrau, I think.
I have an ice cream. I cannot mail it, for it will melt.

Ah...this one's harder for me.
I know 1-4, 6, and 8.
5 is, um...I have no idea.
I'm guessing 7 is Dubravka Tomsic.
5...jeez. Um...I honestly have no clue but I'll guess Schnabel or Gilels.
