I don't know, this might be an interesting question to ask. Why not? -------------  Time always wins. |

| As a classical guitar player I'd have to go with Bach for his lute suites. |

I'm really trying to buffer up my classical music knowledge, but I really don't know much.
However, I thought it'd be interesting to note that I'm listening to the 4 seasons by Vivaldi at the moment.  -------------  |

a good list; I would have mentioned Jan Dismas Zelenka too, whose music sounds a lot like Bach (and who was held in high esteem by Bach himself). and let us at least have one woman, so how about Barbara Strozzi? she was one of the most prolific composers of her time and is especially renowned for her compositions for vocals. although I like many of them I have to go with the giant. good old Bach is the godfather of music. as conductor, pianist and composer Hans von Bülow (whose wife Cosima ran away with womanizer Richard Wagner) once put it: "I believe in Bach, the Father, Beethoven, the Son, and Brahms, the Holy Ghost of music" -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

What's Baroque? Just kidding, I went for Scarlatti. Being a pianist (I'm sure Rico will agree with me on this also) I can appreciate his greatest works, a la Cat's Fugue and his Sonatas for harpsichord, and I must say I prefer those to most Baroque music on any instrument. BTW, I love this poll, thanks for making it. ------------- "Market value is irrelevant to intrinsic value." Arnold Schoenberg |

You shouldn't have put Bach there  Some other favourites of mine: Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Handel, Monteverdi. Is Haydn baroque or classical? |

Haydn is definitely classical. the big trias of classical composers is Haydn-Mozart-Beethoven, though Beethoven is on the brink to romantic music, and his latter work definitely falls under "romantic" ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Yup. Why no love for Telemann? |
