Nice post mate!!! I really enjoy the classical music
I just want to add a few things I know that you added Dowland because he composed a lot of lute music but the great composer of that period is Josquin Des Prez and Palestrina both are the great composers of the renaissance. But if you divide the Medieval into Ars Nova and Ars Antiqua you have more composers Ars Antiqua Leonin Perotin Ars Nova Machaut Philippe de Vitry Now, about the classical composers. Beethoven was a classical composer, his figure was the first romantic in terms of the composer itself but not the compositions (although Beethoven divides in three stages and the last one could be thought as a more romantic). Schubert also is more classical. Impressionist also are Manuel de Falla (Spain), Ottorino Respighi (Italy). Modern composers Well you forgot the most important mate Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern, Alban Berg (the second vienna school). Contemporary I don't want to disqualify John Williams (I really like his compositions) but he does not enter in this kind of category. The great composers in that period are Karlheinz Stockhausen (Germany) Iannis Xenakis (Greece) Gyorgy Ligeti (Hungary) Luciano Berio (Italy) Pierre Boulez (France) Oliver Messiaen (France) Also you have minor composers (compared with those) like Brian Ferneyhough Mauricio Kagel Gérard Grisey And minimal composers Steve Reich Terry Riley Arvo Part La Monte Young Philip Glass I hope you don't mind I added those things ![]() Your post is great!!! -------------------- |

Ramiro - thanks for the input! My post wasn't meant to be all-inclusive, just a good starting point for people interested in classical music. I'm not an expert by any means; in fact, I'm not that familiar with many classical composers other than a few of the "big" ones (mostly Mozart, Beethoven, and some Bach). I was actually hoping folks like yourself would add to this list and build on it.

Oh, that's great man!
I just added to have a nice base. I could add more but I think it would be confusing the readers between what you wrote and what I wrote I think it's a pretty good list. Could resist to make a bigger list on the contemporary ![]() -------------------- |
