Sibelius > Stravinsky > Schubert > Shostakovich = Strauss > Schumann = Satie = Saint-Saëns > Schoenberg > Schuman = Scriabin > Salieri = Scarlatti = Smetana = Szymanowski > Stockhausen
Alessandro or Domenico Scarlatti?
Schuman I assume is a typo, and not William Schuman?

Btw, where is Sousa in your list?  8)

I'm guessing below Szymanowski but above Stockhausen. . . .

Schmelzer, the Scharwenka brothers and Sgambati beat them all.  ;D

Probably tied with Stockhausen. I'd have to hear Stimmung again to see if it holds up.  ;)

Nope. I meant Wm. Schuman, American composer of (among other things) a terrific symphony, violin concerto, and piano concerto.

Cool. Haven't heard any of his music, might try one of those.
Looking again at your post, I see that Schumann is there, too. :-[

Fixed.

I don;t know. I always thought Suppe was a big name. And Stanford could be in some circles. I was just playing anyway.

Did you seriously think that I was referring to Strauss or were you just being meta? ;D

[The guy to Suk's right was Strong... or, as some might say, mighty. I hate explaining jokes. :(]
