Who is Your Favorite Classical Music Composer?

Double posts make the ghost of Schoenberg sad.

Definitely Bach, although I can enjoy mostly every one from Guillaume de Machault up to present.

 

[luis1972]

All of them, but specially Tchaikovsky

Schoenberg wasn't a classicist; he developed serialism into what is known as the twelve-tone technique, where no one pitch is more important than the other eleven in the octave. A pitch cannot be repeated until the other eleven have been played, hence the lack of tonal centers.

I just checked.
Seems the 1920s classicism is called Nordic Classicism in english and have nothing to do with the viennese school or anything else outside of the nordic countries.

I tend to like a piece of music, as opposed to a composer. I really dig "Pictures At An Exhibition" by Modest Mussorgsky, and Bach's, "Brandenburg Concerto". There are others...can't name them, but the melody catches my ear, and I just dig the tune. I think a big reason I even listened to any, was because of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. They're on of my favorite bands, and anyone that's into them, gets what I mean.
