Your No. 1 Composer

[Philoctetes]

Handel

That what happens when you ask people to do something so silly as to pick a solo #1! :-)

Solo no. 1's is what life is all about unless you believe in Hillary Clinton's famous refrain.

Sarge still has the Mahler pieces and the Bruckner parts mashed into the Wagner pile!

It must be hard picking between those three for Sarge....
but he should go with Mahler!

Hold on!  I put Sarge down for Haydn.  Please let me know if I've done wrong.

I believe Sarge voted for Haydn in the 'no.2' thread. I am yet to see his no.1 vote on this thread yet, hopefully it will be Mahler.

Here. I don't know if Sarge will commit to a no. 1 ; )

Not surprisingly, my no. 1 pick is Johann Sebastian Bach, my soulmate and the guy I listen to far more than any other composer.

Okay, so I need to revise the tally:

Beethoven   5
Bach            2
Haydn         2
Brahms       2
Janacek      1
Mahler        1
Stravinsky  1
Bartok        1
Wagner      1
Brian          1
Shost.        1
Mozart       1
Handel       1

I'm usually annoyed when people won't play by the rules laid down by a thread's creator. But in this case, I really can't, in good conscience, or even in fun, pick between Wagner, Mahler and Bruckner. My trinity is indivisible; the only number one I could pick.

I was raised Lutheran. I follow his example: "Here I stand. I can do no other." 

Sarge

Difficult to choose, but if I count my listening hours, it must be
Handel

Welcome to the forum, Arkadin!

[PaulSC]

I just put together a set of ring tones as a birthday gift for my partner, and while most of them were clips of traditional Thai and Lao music, the one he'll surely use when I call is a clip from the Goldberg Variations.

Count another vote for JS Bach!

Nice to see you here Orçun!

I don't have a 'number one' - oh, I suppose if I were shoved into an isolated hole I would grab Beethoven or something on the fall down, just to be as complete as possible, but even he would be missing the whole baroque and (much) modern elements ....

I'm not sure if I could even narrow it down to a top seven.
