This thread looks familiar, but I'll contribute - Bach by a large margin over all others.

By the way, Clara Schumann stands out here like a sore thumb.

You are correct. We have been down this path many times before.
That is why I will pass.

Musicians is certainly the wrong forum. I don't expect much discussion in this thread, so let's move it to the polls sub-forum.

Beethoven, on the strength of his late works.

Why did you put Clara Schumann on the list instead of Shostakovich, Schoenberg, Bruckner, or Monteverdi?

...and where is Britten? Out of the list I chose Stravinsky.

Why did you put Clara Schumann on the list instead of Shostakovich, Schoenberg, Bruckner, or Monteverdi?

Or "Why did you put Chopin and Rachmaninov on the list instead of Tippett and Judith Weir?"

It's sad because she may have had the musical potential to stand with the others but was marred by societal expectations, responsibilities as a wife and a mother, her concert career, and self-doubt

I'm just saying that Clara Schumann is not popular, but the four I mentioned are. Monteverdi-- probably the most famous early music composer, and a real innovator. Shostakovich-- one of the most popular 20th century composers, with famous symphonies and a well-regarded set of string quartets. Schoenberg-- influential, and many like his music. Bruckner-- not that popular among casual CM fans but popular enough here that he could get a vote or two.

 

[haziz]

Well, Clara Wieck (Schumann) has so far received more votes than Chopin, Strauss (?Richard, ?Johann), Verdi, Handel, Elgar, Debussy ...................

 

[Ingélou]

Handel & Vivaldi - the nearest I could get. (Really, it's Lully.)

 

[Ludwig Schon]

Why is Haydn spelled Hayden? Were Matthew or Sterling also composers?
