Yes, I did say five.
You do not have to say why.
Just put them in order from favorite to fifth favorite.
1. Beethoven
2. Tchaikovsky
3. Frank *EDIT* Franck (sorry, I never spell his name correctly)
4. Liszt
5. Schubert
If your opinions differ (by that I mean if you hate a composer that someone else loves), please be civil in your arguments. That is more of a reminder for me than a request for you :)
Since I can still edit my list (hehehehe) I have a new one
1. Beethoven
2. Tchaikovsky
3. Strauss, R.
4. Shostakovitch
5. Barber for his Adagio (I've only heard that one piece by him)/ Mozart (For Sym. 40, Eine Kleine, violin+viola duets, Mass, and Requiem)
HM Liszt

Does it have to be classical composers?
1. Mozart
2. Prokofiev

1. Ravel - and not for the Bolero! Daphnis et Chloé, Piano Concerto, Rapsodie Espagnole and so on.

In technical terms Classical is about 1750-1830
Baroque overlaps for the first ten years, and Romantic for the last 15.
Romantic ends roughly around when WWI begins, Contemporary begins in the 1970s :)
