It's a heartbreak, either way.

Gotta go with “Papa," though.

Haydn for symphonies, string quartets, and choral works; Mozart for concertos, piano works, and opera.  It's a tie.

There will never be another era like the Golden Age of Hollywood.  We didn't know how to blow up buildings then so we had no choice but to tell great stories with great characters.-Ben Mankiewicz

As much as I like Haydn, I vote for Mozart.

It's a very difficult choice, but I would have to choose Wolfie.  Sorry, Gurn.  :'(

I still LOVE Haydn's music.  :)
