Not really... Brahms is by far my favorite composer, but Beethoven was easily more influntial. That said, a case could be made for Brahms.
I'm surprised that people voted for Schubert, Tchaikovsky, and Grieg over him. Tchaikovsky is notable for his orchestration, but otherwise wasn't especially creative; Schubert was a very good composer but almost entirely derivative; and none of Grieg's works are really considered great masterpieces.

The piano quartet is COMPLETE!!!
Please note that I will not review the following without a very good reason:
1) MP3-only posts: no score + outside link = bad deal. Especially true because I'm on dialup when at home.
2) Shoutbox or PM spam: excessive shameless plugs get very annoying very fast.
3) Pieces written in a short time or with little effort: if it's not worth the composer's time and energy, then it's not worth mine either.
