I haven't checked out the Times series yet, but that won't stop me from picking my Top Ten:<br /><br />Bach, Handel, Haydn, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Brahms, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich.<br /><br />Those are my picks for most <i>important</i>, but it bothers me: How, for instance, does Mozart not make the list? <br /><br />It is hard to leave out some favorites (e.g. I like Sibelius a little better than Tchaikovsky, though the former may not be as great). I could easily rattle off ten others that I love but who might not quite have the body of work to be included (Ravel, Debussy, Elgar, Faure, Bartok, Franck, Korngold, Poulenc, Prokofiev, Villa Lobos).Stephen Bourquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13699468585645166392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14229298.post-81482277415696961962011-01-18T21:32:43.737-05:002011-01-18T21:32:43.737-05:00Yat-Yee, I know I'd have to leave out a couple...Yat-Yee, I know I'd have to leave out a couple of my favorites, and I just couldn't do it!

I had to leave out one of my favorite composers, Dvorak, because in the big scheme of things, his contribution may not be as big.Yat-Yeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04028075516122778317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14229298.post-87917363605024945562011-01-18T16:59:47.908-05:002011-01-18T16:59:47.908-05:00This sounds perfect for our music appreciation on ...This sounds perfect for our music appreciation on friday, thanks for sharing!lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07754586762141365467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14229298.post-10883358324355836772011-01-18T10:38:58.496-05:002011-01-18T10:38:58.496-05:00Thanks so much for the heads up.
