Mine are Vivaldi, Brahms and perhaps Chopin.

Et toi?

That is a tough question because I feel that every composer is unique in certain aspect.

I agree with Czaire.

I respect every composr because ech of them produces wonderful and different music.

Yup that right! Every individual composer has his own masterpiece.

I quite like the duo, Mendel & Son, the well-known virtuouso, Bay Toven, and the little known Brazilian composer from Amazonas - Hanna Condar.

I agree with Czaire though- it's impossible to choose!

i really can't make up my mind here..... i love a lot of them....

I particularly love hindemith at the moment, and also Stravinsky from studying him for A2 music.

I like alot of composers music and I do agree that each of them produce wonderful music but if I really had to choose just one it would have to be Rachmaninoff

right now i really enjoy playing kreisler's music on violin.

as i said it hard to choose...but still...i will say that Rachamninoff, Beethoven, Debussy, Schumann, J.S.Bach, W.A.Mozart, Bahrms....etc...etc...

Mozart is a God of Music - I love French music thow - Massenet, Faure, Debussy, Chausson - I feel as thow they echo my very existence - I think its about what makes you tick - where your heart lies.

Also Love - Bach (what a guy), Britten(challenging but sooooo characterful) Puccini( Romance is still alive - yeay) and Vivaldi ( Gives me shivers)

I agree its very hard to choose. I am into alot of the English Romantic Contemporaries such as Ireland, Finzi, Stanford, Howells, Cooke, Rawsthorne, Jacob, Arnold and lots of others.....

I also love Brahms and Schumann, from the Romantic period. Handel, Albinoni and Vivaldi from the Baroque period, i love Rennaisance music too but i love all of the composers from there.

I like a bit of Bach and Lutoslawski too.......

but i HATE ...... MOZART

I also like Celtic music, and the works.

I'm not sure about Mozart - sometimes it doesn't feel as if...well, they don't make me go 'man, I love Mozart' as Vivaldi does.

Finzi, Stanford, Howells,

agreed! and Parry, Vaughan Williams etc

Praetorius, JSBach, Brahms, Smetana, Durufle, Arvo Part

yes, I like Celtic music too.

The thing with Mozart's Music is that its so Musically correct - its perfect. Here is a bloke who would have got 100 out of 100 in his Grade 8 Theory!

Like most people here, I like all kinds of music. If i was selecting a piece of music to listen too, the composers I would look for first are Beethoven, Puccini, Mozart and Chopin.

All the best,

Chopin is my favourite, especi~~~y his nocturnes and etudes.

although i said that all composers are great, Liszt does compose some pretty good stuff!

agree...his improvisation is so good.....and teachnique wise as well

i like beethoven and mozart's music.lively, and like smashing the piano some time.really fun playing their music

That was the word I was looking for - Improvisation. I feel Mozart was extrordinary at this, I bet he could play any song in any key (melodic and harmonic minor) and backwards!

i really like Mozart, but my fave has to be Einaudi, without question!
