Definitely Bach, since he was certainly the most intellectually rigorous, and also one of the most emotionally involving, composers who has ever lived- definitely impressive considering how later composers viewed the Baroque stlye as emotionally underdeveloped.

 

Then Beethoven, also an absolute genius whole work enchants, resonants, and intrigues; and also embodies the absolute pinnacle of form. [Thanks also, Ludwig, for killing off the Classical era proper; God what a wasteland of empty and meaningless music!]

 

Then maybe Webern.  I think he's misunderstood. 

Cheers!

I like Chopin and Liszt the best. The Romantic composers were the proggers of the late 1800s. I also like Beethoven and Bach (the technical genius.)

Both the romantic and Contemporary periods of classical music are my favorites.  I really enjoy Debussy's music especially.

The best thing I can play on the piano is Debussy's Claire de Lune....funny thing is that it still brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it. So I'm playing the piano and I'm crying...(good grief I'm such a GIRL sometimes!!)
