Then come Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and dozens more. Dozen dozens actually…

As Preston Sturges put it: “Nobody handles Handel like you handle Handel. … And your Delius—delirious!”Offhand, some favorite composers of mine are Ravel, Stravinsky, Britten, Offenbach, Gershwin… Um, I’m sure I’m forgetting someone(s). Rachmaninoff is up there. Oh, Alban Berg too. And Mahler! For song composers, it’s Harold Arlen, Jerome Kern, and Gershwin. On some days Cole Porter takes Gershwin’s place in the song trinity. |

I have also got to throw John Barry , Bernie Taupin, and Hoagy in the mix there. |

I certainly enjoy classical composers, but when it comes to instrumental music I mostly listen to film scores. Ennio Morricone is my favorite, just over John Williams, and Hans Zimmer. There are many others I enjoy, but those three are a step above everyone else.

Classical, it would probably be Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Schubert, Fredric Chopin, Franz Liszt, Antonin Dvorak, George Enescu, Jan Cikker & a bunch of French composers.

Pop song writers are not composers. Their junk is nothing but sequences of chords put together and repeated long enough to fill the desired time slot.

I'll list a couple who are not so well known.
Luigi Boccherini
Ferruccio Busoni
Kaikhosru Shapurji Sorabji
Havergal Brian
