I opened the class blog with Anthony Tommasini article, “The Greatest,” where he provides his top 10 list of THE GREATEST classical composers of all time.  Again, here’s his list:

1. Bach
2. Beethoven
3. Mozart
4. Schubert
5. Debussy
6. Stravinsky
7. Brahms
8. Verdi
9. Wagner
10. Bartok

Now that we’re at the end of this class, put together your own top 5 list from the composers that we had in class. In your comment, make your top 5 list and provide a 1-2 sentences about why you included them. (You can have one composer that is a “just because.”)

(This comment will count as an extra 5 points towards your final grade!)
