[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

Mahler.

No, you misread. That's 118... 18 is Bach, J.S. .....

Actually I would have to think about this. I never get past number four or so...

Honegger is listed as my No. 18 on my Facebook page, so I'll just go with that for now. :)

I dunno ... Berg?
When, a few months before his death, Rachmaninov lamented that he no longer had the "strength and fire" to compose, friends reminded him of the Symphonic Dances, so charged with fire and strength. "Yes," he admitted. "I don't know how that happened. That was probably my last flicker."

We have that thread. It's called: Only the New (Music), where I essentially am alone in the endeavor.

If I hadn't already made a top 25, I would venture Sibelius. His music has a "number 18" kind of vibe to it.

Going by my alphabetical list, I'd say Aho. Bing A is at #1, while Aho is at #18.

Bach, by the way, is in the top 100, while Beethoven is in the top 150.

No.18 on the alphabetical list is Fiodor (Feodor) Akimenko (1876-1945). He is represented by a symphonic poem, "Angel" (1922), the subject taken from a poem by Lermontov.

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

I always skip 18 and go straight on to 19. Just my luck to get a thread like this, eh?
