To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

They are all quite different :hmm:

I always liked how Mozart's music just kind of feels like it always existed somehow. Like somehow it is naturally occuring...somehow. I am not really sure how to explain it.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

No strong preference.  I just pick their best songs and mix it with everything else.

Beethoven.
Tchaikovsky is my favorite composer.

Growing up my Dad put on Vivaldi every Sunday morning so the Italian gets my heads up as that was the composer I first learned enough to make it organic.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Handel
Then Haydn or Beethoven

Bach for the music
Haydn for the personality.

Fascinated at how even the vote is :P

Granted the sample size is still kind of small.

It is very very hard. Bach gets the vote, but it's a photo finish with Handel and Beethoven.

Mozart feels like nature to me. Like, the music was heard outside somewhere.

Unlike Handel, who sounds like it was created to be played in a grand hall. It's big, playful, and complex. Vivaldi is the same. Beautiful, but manufactured with the acoustics of a hall in mind.
