Chopin > All

I agree 100%.. Chopin = greatest


I'm surprised at how many Bach fans there are.. I think I may be one of the few people who aren't a fan of the Baroque period, huh.. Romantic and then Impressionism are my favorites... followed by late Classical, I'd say.

Gustav Holst would be at the top of my list.

I like Chopin's Nocturne's quite a bit...

I suposse everyone have heard all of these (or is it that once upon a time in Europe then existed an underground community of classical compposers?)

Tchaicovsky
Dvorak
Vivaldi
Mozart
and the guy behind Depeche mode

Save the music! keep listening classical!

Dave Gahan I think that is. hehe.

Dvorak rules. Especially that slavonic dance stuff. My classical knowlwedge is pretty limited after that.

did anyone else know he lived in Kansas? maybe that's just a myth I heard

Mozart (WA)
Bach (JS)

I'm sorry to be so unoriginal, but geniuses are what they are right?

Vivaldi (though he repeats himself way too often)
Albinoni
Haydn

The last 2 could well be others..... There are many great composers but none of them really stick out like JS or WA. Anyway they show it's all Baroque and Classical for me. Ok mostly. Maybe I should add Palestrina. And Sor (coz I like playing his music).

Antonin Dvorak
Chevalier de Saint-Georges
Louise Farrenc
John Field
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor

While he lived in the U.S., Antonin Dvorak spent his Summers living with Czech settlers in a small town in Iowa. He said he was happy there and managed to compose a great deal of music during his stays.
