Mahler, Stravinsky, Bruckner and Dvorak. Lists of favorite pieces would definitely include a lot of other composers' works, but these are the ones whose general output and style draws me in the most.

Hmmmmm . . . . I have no idea. I also do not think that it is fair to compair Bach to Shore or Beethoven to Schoenberg because of the completely different styles. So, I think I will list my favorite for each era or genre of classical music.

Pre-Baroque: William Byrd

Baroque: either Bach or Handel (I really have a hard time deciding)

Classical: Beethoven

Romantic: Grieg or Rachmaninoff (I might have thrown Tchaikovsky in there too - this is another impossible choice)

Impressionist: Debussy (Ravel)

American/Contemporary: Barber, Berstein, or Copland (probably Barber overall and this is probably the most diffucult to chose because I am such a huge fan of the classical American composers)

Modern: Prokofiev (just about the only one of this era that I really like)

Film score: Howard Shore, Jerry Goldsmith, Ennio Morricone, or Thomas Newman (I am Shore's #1 fan so yes it is Shore as my favorite, but I just had to mention that I loved the others too)

Opera: Without a doubt it is Puccini (as far as the music goes Tourandot is the best opera ever)

Overall top 5 of all genres (probably?):
- Debussy
- Barber
- Shore
- Rachmaninoff
- Grieg
(Berstein and Ravel )

Hey, that wasn't 'in no particular order'! This is clearly alphabetical! Almost chronological as well!
