Even then, it all depends on our definition of greatness, which can be so varied that discussion on the matter is basically just that, discussion; there will never be a proclaimed greates composer. Still, it's interesting to see others' takes on it, and why.
I would probably say Beethoven, but even then I don't want because I also believe other great composers to be just as great....if that makes sense

. Anyway, I do love Beethoven, though
