Don't have a favorite in anything in life I think, but I do LOVE:

Sarasate
Paganini
Bazzini
(these 3 having done some fantastic music for violin which has lots of 'fun technique' which I wonder if I will ever be able to learn!!)

Rossini
(don't know why, just love his music!)

Mozart
('cos he was a 'bit mad' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) )

Bach
(mmm not sure why)

Beethoven
(because of some of his powerful music, don't know how to express it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) )

Schubert
(because of his 'romantic side')

I think I'll stop there before I run out of pages (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Prokofiev and Rimsky-Korsakov for romantic music that is interesting without being slushy

Bach for brain music

Britten because he is so versatile and I can actually understand the words of his operas
