SOLVED. Children Non-fiction series. Biographies of the Composers for young readers. Read in late 1970s/early 1980s. [s]

This is probably a question for librarians or used-book sellers.

In the late 70s/early 80s I worked my way through a series of biographies of classical composers (Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Brahms) that I checked out from the city library. They were probably about 9 x 12, 80-100 pages, with a classical-style portrait of the composer in question on the front of each book. I haven't been able to locate any trace of them online. If anyone has a lead on them, I would enjoy tracking them down.

Thanks,
Amanda

Maybe Brahms, Haydn, Beethoven etc. by Reba Paeff Mirsky, published in the 1960s? The LibraryThing page for the Brahms one has an image of the front cover: https://www.librarything.com/work/166175

There's also the Great Musicians series by Opal Wheeler, e.g. Mozart, the Wonder Boy, but those covers look a bit more cartoony.

Yes! I think that's it. Thank you so much!
