Composers Poll

The results of the normblog composers poll have been posted. Beethoven leads the way, with Mozart and Bach as runners-up, while Schubert takes fourth place. Not exactly my own order of preference (Bach, Haydn, Mozart...). If I remember rightly, we had to choose the five top classical composers of all time - and at least one of my choices, Arnold Schoenberg, didn't even make to the list of finalists at all - oh well, I expect it all goes to show that music is a very personal thing. Certainly, the composer friends I approached on the subject said they'd be unwilling even to make a list of choices at all (now I wonder why that is).
