I don't see why not...
There's also the anecdote of Verdi needing to lock up his librettist, Temistocle Solera, in a room to get him to finish the bloody words. One time, Solera discovered he had been locked in the room containing Verdi's wine cellar.
I like to imagine Verdi opening the door later to get his libretto and going: 'Oops'.
Aside from that, the lists have forgetten Biber, Berlioz, Britten, Orff (who believe it or not wrote things OTHER than that bloody Carmina Burana), and, of all people, Purcell. Fie on you all.
