This is what the world thinks but for me all are equal and Beethoven is the BEST because I follow him…. 🙂 His music is of different level,his symphony #5 is incredible,symphony #9 is unique,symphony #7 is unpredectible and rest of his symphonies are remarkable,His piano concerts,piano sonatas[among them sonata no14 and 32 is my best],His mass the Missa solemnis is very very excellent his string quartets are best and his opera Fidelio.His bagatelle in A minor[Fur Elise(For Elise)] is very very very very veryyyyyy heart touching……… 🙂
For me, the best are (not in order) : -Mozart -Beethoven -Chopin -Bach I am aware that Bach defined the classical music and without him none of these composers would have achieved what they achieved but that does not mean he is better than the other ones. One and all wrote incredibly good pieces that cannot be compared because each one of them have their own style. That is why they cannot be ranked and can only be referred as "The great 4"
Although it is very unfare to do a list of the best composers, I think that Mozart and Tchaikosky deserved a better place in the list for their impact in music, their extensive work and magic style.
Agree with the list, mainly top 4, but just one remark: Mozart and Schubert have died too young, at the same age the others have just started to compose their masterpieces.
Schubert and Brahms are definitely better than Tchaikovsky. Take away the Russian's beautiful melodies and there is not much there.
What's name of song at 5:01
I love these composers but it's lame how they don't include contemporary. Like come on, Debussy? Holst? WILLIAMS???!!?
