Bach is probably the best, and I don't particularly like him. Other than him people should look at Beethoven and then probably - and I will get a lot of hate for this - Franz Liszt. Idk why Mozart gets brought up, great craftsman but not particularly innovative

I get Beethoven before Bach. Maybe Bach was the greater craftsman but Beethoven’s aesthetic sensibility clearly elevates him. But I don’t get Brahms ahead of Mozart. What piece would you have me compare side by side to convince me?

>>11997918
How the fuck is Liszt that high? Music scholars don’t like him, they think he’s literal 19th century Yngwie Malmsteen.

And why are Gluck and Weber even on this list when Tchaikovsky, Mahler, Dvorak, Strauss, Bartok, Ravel, Shostakovich, and Rossini are not??
