In Reply to: His Top 10 are certainly not mine posted by Amphissa on January 21, 2011 at 12:10:25:
These are in no particular order, except that Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven would be at the top both for greatness and how much time I spend listening.
1. Bach
2. Haydn
3. Mozart
4. Beethoven
5. Schumann
6. Brahms
7. Dvorak
8. Mussorgsky
9. Wagner
10. Sibelius
There are a number of great composers left out, such as Schubert, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Rimsky-Korsakoff, Debussy, Ravel, Bartok, Copland, Subotnick, Mayuzumi, Takemitsu, because I don't listen to their music as often.
