Default Your Desert Island composer.

Your stuck on the island on you own, with a solar powered hi fi in the straw hut and the complete works of just the one composer. It's going to be a bit depressing so Shosty, Wagner and Beethoven might be a bit too much, and pure opera composers like Puccini ( in the main) and others might get a bit samey. The complete song cycle of Schubert might appeal, but you might not feel like songs after a while. Bach might get a bit samey too.All that precision might pall, but then you have the vocal work also, heavily choral though it is in it's nature. So for me it would have to be Mozart. He kinda did it all.

I’d say Mozart too. On the other hand, I could take Wagner: it would save me by motivating me to tear down the hut and fashion it into a raft to escape the music.

But Wagner would write the score to your escape. :-)

Bach. I could listen to variations of the Brandenburg Concertos over and over again.

Frank Zappa covers rock, jazz, blues, classical, punk, big band and is a wonderful story teller. When I first went out on my own at age 19 I spent two years listening to pretty much just Zappa. Nothing else sounded normal.

At the ripe old age of 67 he's still on the playlist.

If we're limiting the conversation to only classical composers it would be either Steve Reich or Anton Webern.
