Some composers have too many masterpieces for a top 10.  Firebird wouldn't be close to my top 10.

That's why we're all over The Box!

[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.

I got that for $22 from a brick and mortar. I was stunned.

Petroushka... By Stoki. No question at all there.

There are an awful lot of bad Firebirds.

I am not too fond of the Firebird, so that was not even in the running. I voted for Petrushka which I slightly prefer to Le Sacre. I love those "collages".

Well yes.  I think Debussy named his "La Mer".

  Le Sacre, but I don't think he should give up on composing yet. From those three, you can really tell he's on to something, here.  Keep going, Igor! 0:)

The Firebird.
"Javert, though frightful, had nothing ignoble about him. Probity, sincerity, candor, conviction, the sense of duty, are things which may become hideous when wrongly directed; but which, even when hideous, remain grand."

- Victor Hugo

Love all three, but if pressed, Le sacre.

--Bruce

My words. Heard them all three live, too. And live the Sacre made the strongest impression.
... 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
