hmm, let's see...

Bach for his perfect counterpoint.

Haydn for his impeccable craft.

Schubert for making it look so easy.

Shostakovich for writing such badass music under such (because of?) circumstances

some Stravinsky, for the rhythms and orchestration.

Bartok, ok i'm tired of giving reasons...

Varese and last, but most definitely not least....

Schnittke.  Concerto Gross No. 1 FTW  \m/


Oh yeah, and special mention goes to Lygeti.
