Who is your favorite classical composer?

Mine has got to be Richard Wagner.

I like Wagner, but I&#39;m also a lover of Beethoven, Handel, Rachmaninov, Grieg, Mozart, and most of all Bach.

I like oters too, but those are my favorites.

Bach has always been my number one. Other composers that I like include Stamiz, Schubert, Schumann, Mozart, Peroglesi, Rameau,Telemann, Prokofiev and Stravisnki.

What I don&#39;t like too much is the romantic period, especially Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Mahler and Dvorak.

I like all of those, I&#39;m a big lover of the Barock though.

As boring as it may be, I love Beethoven. Ode to Joy is perhaps one of the finest compositions in all of music. It is very uplifting...especially since it came from a fellow who wasnt exactly the most pleasant fellow. Mozart is also nice

Yes the 9th symphony is sublime.

I am not too fond of Beethoven&#39;s symphonies but I do like his string quartets very much. His piano concertos are not too bad either, but IMO still a level under Mozart&#39;s. Beethoven&#39;s chello sonatas are also great IMO.

i like song-by-song basis, but if I have to list composer-wise, without any specific order;

Bach(J.S.)
Beethoven(even took a college class...and failed )
Mozart
and a little bit of Tchaikovski
Handel

I wanna try some Schubert&#39;s work when I get the time.

it&#39;s because Beethoven had too much of an attitude. He was supposed to &#39;Receive spirit of Mozart through Heiden&#39;s hands&#39; but Beethoven&#39;s lack of social skills crippled his relationship with Heiden, and Beethoven had to learn mostly by himself.

and for those who saw &#39;Immortal Beloved&#39; and think his imortal beloved was the one who married his little brother, it has been shown that it was false. it&#39;s actually a married woman whom Beethoven aquainted when she stayed in Vienna to get rid of her homesickness.(forgot her name though)
