So who is your favourite composer and why????

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' )

Bach
(mmm not sure why)

Beethoven
(because of some of his powerful music, don't know how to express it )

Schubert
(because of his 'romantic side')

I think I'll stop there before I run out of pages

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

Bach, Beethoven and Shostakovich

Brahms, Dvo?ák, Beethoven, Schubert

Well they are my top four anyhow going on the number of pieces of music I own by different composers!

Faure, Franck, Ravel and Debussy - don't know why, just love the music especially the chamber music.

vivaldi --- just brilliant, bach---- brilliant as well, purcell----- great british composer! and i'm sure many more, ho yes --- also love the rach 3 piano concerto!!!

I'm afraid least favourite is easier.

Hindemith.

Shostakovich, Wieniawski, Sarasate, i could go on forever though

i think my favourite is Trad. - he's written a lot of great tunes.

Lol, I love traditional and folk music too.
