What is/are your the most favourite composer s ?

Mozart

The guy never erased a note. Gotta admire someone who wastes no ink.

His classical compositions are not only technically amazing but amazingly popular. I never liked opera until I had to study Don Giavonni (spelling) in college. ALl I can say is that Mozart knew how to make opera both interesting and accessable while being musical masterpieces at the same time.

Critics might poo-poo popularity, but there is something to be said for being able to create music with such universal appeal. Especially when a genius creates art which has such a wide audience. 99 times out of 100 geniuses are so disconnected from reality and the common man that their work is only enjoyed by an elite minority who are extreme fans of the art already.

Hands down my favorite is Rachmaninoff, how ever honorable mentions go to:
The Strauss clan(but in particular Eduard and Johann Jr.)
A Dvorak
J Offenbach
J Brahms
G Mahler
WA Mozart
JS Bach
M Ravel
C Debussy
L Bernstein
S Prokofiev
P Tchaikovsky
P Warlock
and of course F Chopin

The one who I am not enamoured with(don't know why) is LV Beethoven. Any thing from the Baroque period is very interesting to me in particular the Harpsichord- I simply love the harpsichord for an unknown reason. I am sure I missed some greats but this was a quick list.

Mahler
Handel
Schubert
Brahms
Martinu
Britten
Vaughan Williams

No particular order. List subject to change without notice.

My top 3 are Tchaikovsky, Brahms, and Beethoven.

Tough question for me: You know, I can't think well,right now---(I told that to my perspective boss and was hired on the spot.)----Some of the most beautiful music ever written would be: Beethoven's 9th. Rach's paino #2 (none of his others do it for me) Vivaldi's 4 Seasons ,Beethoven's Emperor,then we got Mr.Mozart;and for him it's the piano concertos. BUT when I think of the # of compositions by all these guys (most well over 1,000) it brings me to Mr. Antonin Dvorak. He gets my vote on percentage,(I don't actually know how many) Symphony #9;THEE finest Cello cncerto; Symphonic Dances;the quartets.There is so much great composition by so many GREATS that this is just a brief highlight of "some" of my favorites. I understand we all have our own.
