John Luther Adams
Kalevi Aho
Isaac Albeniz
Tomaso Albinoni
Hugo Alfven
Charles Alkan
Gregorio Allegri
William Alwyn
Hendrik Andriessen
George Antheil
Anton Arensky
Dominick Argento

Please post any composers you would like to have in the game.

[Baron Scarpia]

Thomas Augustine Arne (for completeness sake, I have a CD of his trio sonatas).

[Trout]

Two good ones to include are:

Carl Friedrich Abel
Hans Abrahamsen

Also, I'm not the biggest fan of Thomas Adès or Louis Andriessen, but they should probably be in as well.
