In response to Holden's reply to Don's thread.

And because I really think all these polls are getting silly.

Bach by a mile.


Yep, Bach. I haven't participated in the most recent polls (impossible for me to choose between Mahler and Wagner or Chopin and Schumann) but this one is easy.

Sarge

the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
                               --Charles Bukowski, "Mahler"

Wanderer

This is as easy as the one that had Beethoven among the choices. Bah!

Bach, but where is Froberger in the list?  ::) 8)

Q

Don


Josquin des Prez

Forget Froberger or Cabezon, where the hell is Sweelinck? That is THE number one entry if you really want to include composers from that particular era.

Philoctetes

I voted Rameau. I find him quite jolly and lively.

Rameau... jolly? He's one of the most heart felt composers of the Baroque era. The mind boggles...
