I bet this is going to turn into another Every other composer is inferior to Beethoven thread.

[The new erato]

No it won't - because nowhere in the thread is there any mention of inferiority/superiority - you add/subtract based on what you like (which is an altogether different thing).

Like in football (soccer), the most exciting race is often the race for fending off relegation.

Save your favorite composer from relegation! Verdi fans, come on down!

The day is young...and already there's much to be grateful for! 

Like in football (soccer), the most exciting race is often the race for fending off relegation.

I love having Haydn just a "nose" in front of Wolfie.    Let the dead RIP.

[longears]

Ack, Bill--we posted near simultaneously!  Add one to Verdi and take another away from Grumpy Schoenberg. 

And a merry post-Christmas good morning to you!

I'm not sure it's worth waking Annie up.  She's only vote for Handel again and there's no telling whom she'd vote against now that Dickie's gone.  Probably Bruckner.  Best let sleeping spouses lie.
