Whom do you listen to most often?

[Dr. Dread]

Silly poll Fridays. 

[ChamberNut]

Beethoven is still the one I listen to the most, by far.

[Dr. Dread]

I think I still listen to Chopin the most, though lately I've been enjoying Mozart--who didn't write his own stuff, don't you know.

[karlhenning]

Actually, an excellent poll, expertly phrased.  Couldn't say definitively, but Stravinsky is either right, or close.

Can't be bad!

[Gurn Blanston]

Can't vote on this one. Haydn/Mozart/Beethoven are in a dead heat for 60% of my listening, the remaining 40% is wildly divided among "everyone else"

Vote for the one who wrote the most music.

Then click yon voting thingy, please. 

[karlhenning]

Oh! Thought I had.

[Gurn Blanston]

Vote for the one who wrote the most music.

Well, clearly HE has been omitted from the poll...

[karlhenning]

Oh, don't even go there, Gurn! 

[Dr. Dread]

Well, clearly HE has been omitted from the poll...

Okay, then stick a pin in it.

[Bulldog]

Bach's the only one I listen to on a daily basis.  About half the discs in my car are Bach as are half the discs in the "prime" pile in front of my entertainment center.

[Sergeant Rock]

Mahler isn't for everyday consumption. Mozart or Beethoven get the most play, with Wolfie just edging out Ludwig van, I think.

Sarge

[Drasko]

Chopin.

[Franco]

It shifts, but for the last few months Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Stravinsky in about equal doses.  I wouldn't want to declare one as #1.

[Dana]

I want a banana option.

[some guy]

But...!

These people are all dead!!

[Opus106]

I want a banana option.

Yeah. And where is 'Other'? And MN Dave??? By far I listen to you most often. 0:)




P.S. Since when were silly polls restricted to Fridays?

  I can't really reply to this survey, because I have no idea which composer I listen the most to. I like to listen to as wide a variety of classical music as possible, and would hate to confine myself to a handful of great composers,as magnificent as their music is .
  I crave variety. I want to hear old, music,new music, familiar and unfamiliar works from every period. If you listen to the same handful of works over and over again, it gets monotonous.
  It's rather like your food preferences. It's wonderful to eat a juicy,flavorful steak, but eating steak day after day after day would get terribly boring,(not to mention all the cholesterol) .
  Sure, I love the immortal masterpieces of Bach,Handel,Haydn,Mozart,
Beethoven, Schubert, Wagner, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, etc as much as any one.
  But there is still so much music I haven't heard yet and very much want to. I still haven't heard all 27 of Myaskovsky's symphonies, or those of Havergal Brian, or Roger Sessions, William Schuman, Roy Harris,
and I want to hear more of the music of composers such as Vincent D'Indy, Charles Koechlin, Henze, Martinu, Stenhammar, Paul Creston,
Rued Langaard, Kurt Atterberg, Jon Leifs, Villa-Lobos, Karl Amadeus Hartmann, and so many other composers. 
  I thought I knew an awful lot of classical music,and I certainly do,
but there's so much to explore ! 
   One of my favorite sayings goes that "The more you know about a subject, the more you realize how much you don't know about it ".
