Conventional wisdom says Bach, Beethoven and Brahms.

Instead of arguing with conventional wisdom, let's name our Three B's that does not include those three.

For me:

Brian
Bartok
Berg

Honorable mention:

Britten

CPE Bach deserves to be included, though.

Originally Berlioz was one of the three, and Wagner wanted to change Brahms to Bruckner, apparently:

... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

Well, I don't really understand (or admit) the inclusion of Brahms in the "original" Three B's, but it's a fait accompli and I'll have to live with it... >:(  :D

Here my additions to the list:

- Berg
- Boulez
- Bruckner

(Bartók and Boccherini not far behind, Berlioz a little further  ;))...
