COMPOSERS WHO DIDN'T MAKE THE TOP 10

Uploaded by OldGrumpyGuy on Jan 22, 2009
Here I look at some of the other composers who were considered for the list of the top ten composers who ever lived, but who didn't make it - and why - including Mendelsohnn, Brahms, Aaron Copland, Sergei Prokofiev, Carl Orff and Stravinsky, with mentons of Tchaikovsky, Ravel, Puccini, Liszt and Chopin. Can you handle the truth? There are excerpts from Copland's Appalachian Spring, Brahms' 3rd Symphony, Carmina Burana, Mendelsohnn's Hebrides suite and Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet.

@fierydog What a silly comment. Bugger off.

I thought for sure Stravinsky would be so up there... Then again, not many people know about him other than from the rite of spring and firebird.

Loving piano music, I wanted to hear Rachmaninoff and Chopin mentioned, but your criteria is understandable. I personally find it hard to rank Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. They're definitely the top 3, but all interchangeable. Again, that's just my opinion.

@myfairvanity Yes, there has been a lot of people arguing for the two runners up to be top, with the Bach aficionados being the most aggressive in their support of Bach.

Dvorak is the most underrated of all time, and Wagner and Strauss are the most overrated. FACT.

@BnkWrATMt1ts Not a fact. Merely your opinion. Although I agree with you about Wagner. But Dvorak didn't have anywhere near the range of the top ten

How about Franz Schubert and Giuseppe Verdi?

@cmach7 There are many others I could have mentioned, including those two. Verdi, like Puccini, was primarily a composer of operas and therefore was ruled out because his range was limited. I love some of Shubert, but I don't think he compares with Beethoven, Mozart or others of the period.
