Bach, Mozart, Beethoven are my top three. Brahms belongs near the top. Chopin also should be on the list.

Stravinsky was a nutjob who did much to kill classical music.

I like Bartok, but I’m not sure he belongs in the top ten. Same with Debussy. Some nice stuff, but pretty wussy.

I’d certainly stick Vivaldi in there, and a few other earlier composers, while axing Stravinsky.

How do you come to that conclusion about Stravinsky? He wrote great music for well into his 80s. Do you prefer Schoenberg?

Hmmmmmm.....I suppose this is a conservative website, after all.

But, wow, that’s ....an ...interesting substitution!
