Some of the musicians and composers are named at http://www.victorianweb.org/sculpture/armstead/bio1.html
see paragraph starting 'the musicians are now ranged right and left. But, sorry, there appears to be no clear photograph on the net of this section of the monument, which is known as the Frieze of Parnassus and has 169 figures.
If anyone has a close-up photo of this group, then I think it would be available from the offices of the Royal Albert Hall, which are close by. Their email address is boxofficeenquiries@royalalberthall.com
