I find it rather difficult to pin down a single composer to claim as my favourite.

Likewise.

Beethovorak.

Fabulous. I love his 8th sympcerto. And the 2nd conphony can stand alongside Anyone Else's.*

*Brother of Someone, but not quite so well-known.

Late Bach or late Beethoven. That's as close as i can get to pick one.

In other ten years, you'll have it down to one.

Ah, sure, what a pity John has some problems with Mahler's music....

Yeah, but those problems have always been there. I never was attracted to Mahler's music. I do like some it, but it doesn't speak directly to me.

22% for Mahler. That's damn popular. I wonder how my favorite composer would fare...
