[Reverend_Smitty]

9. I could imagine responses over at FR like...

"Classical music is for sissys" or something along those lines

[Squeech]

10. Love me some Stravinsky

Bartok, Varese, Hindemith, Penderecki...

Charles Ives is my hero.

Olivier Messiaen was my favorite living composer. Got to see him in the flesh once-- Seiji Ozawa played a couple scenes from his opera on St. Francis of Assisi, and Messiaen was in the audience. (I think his wife played piano, and I know his sister-in-law played the Ondes Martenot, an archaic synthesizer he used in many of his scores.)

Pre-20th Century I like Beethoven and Debussy best.

[Speck Tater]

11. The Haydn - Mozart era is my first pick.

Followed by late 19th - early 20th century French composers.
