Who are the three composers that you couldn't live without?

Personally, these composers mean the world to me and no matter how far I stray from their music, they're a part of my soul:

^funnily enough, if I'd to choose one from the world of pop music it would probably be ol' Brian Douglas Wilson.

Anyway, this was tougher than I imagined. But -

Brahms
Shostakovich
Debussy

Vaughan Williams

Miaskovsky

Sibelius or Shostakovich - can't choose.

Difficult but interesting topic.

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."

Jay F. great "plus one"!

He really is my favorite composer who's not Mahler.

I have been listening to Beethoven's symphonies tonight, courtesy of this thread (Abbado, Berlin). I started at No. 3, and I'm up to the end of No. 7.

Prokofiev
Berlioz
Liszt
Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Liszt was a candidate for my list; maybe if I had five choices ...

I figured as much. ;) I almost listed Chopin in place of Liszt...hard to choose...

I've got two.



These composers have been a constant presence throughout my life.
The third one has always been different from time to time. Actually I don't think there is a third composer who is as important to me as those two...

I barely picked Feldman over Liszt.

Mahler, Schoenberg, and Mozart

...and Bach
