Rank your favorite composers ...
No specific number in mind, just list the names of your favorite composers in order of most favorite... This isn't easy and my list adjusts from time to time, but this has been where it's settled for the past year or so..
There are surely 100's of them, but narrow it down to top 10 +/- or so.. Clearly I favor the Baroque period, but any period from Mid-evil to modern is game. Mine: -Vivaldi -Beethoven -Bach -Handel -Purcell -Albinoni -Hyden -R. Strauss -Copeland -Mozart -Mendelsohn -Holst -Gluck -Verdi -Chopin -Greig |
My top 3 would be BACH, MOZART and BEETHOVEN.

Oh wow, that's a tough question. :scratch2:
Not sure I can rank them as there are way too many composers spanning seven centuries with such a diverse amount of music. Besides the universally popular composers, some of which are on your list, I like the German and Italian composers but I will add the missing Russian composers which I also enjoy... :music: There are not many from the Renaissance, Baroque and Classical Period but starting from the Romantic period, Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Borodin, Glazunov. From the modern era, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Stravinsky and I am sure I am missing a few... So many composers, so much music... One can get lost in it and spend a lifetime getting to know it... :yes: |
My top three:
Beethoven Handel Tchaikovsky |

This is like picking your favorite child. I can definitively say that, if I were banished to a desert island with a music player and could only have two composers, it would be Beethoven and Bach. Beyond that, I don’t think I can rank in any order, but certainly Mozart, Chopin, Haydn, Handel, Schubert, Copeland, Corelli, Sibelius, Dvorak, Debussy, R. Strauss, Ravel, Field, Smetana, Mahler, JC Bach, and John Adams, would be in the upper ranks.

Lennon & McCartney
Carole King ... Oh, probably not what the OP had in mind. ;) |
