Ooh! ooh! i forgot about chopin o.o and kuhlau and clementi o.o i adore them o.o i was thinking more contemporary :P

Rimsky-Korsakov, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Chopin, and my composing workshop teacher said that I might possibly like Webern... But I never heard much of his pieces, since I was never too into contemporary music until now.

Beethoven and Wagner are probably my favorites. Dvořák and the Mighty Handful composers have interested me a lot, as well. Mozart and Bach are good, too.

I'll probably add Nobuo Uematsu and Koji Kondo to the top of my list.

Hmm...Leonard Bernstein earns an "interesting" point bonus, but I don't like his music too much...

Samuel Hazo...he's a pretty contemporary composer, mainly doing works for concert bands, but his music is pretty majestic and generally sublime.

I'll have to think of another one later...

In random order:

Nobuo Uematsu, Beethoven, Mozart, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Bach, and John Williams.

Oh dang, I forgot about John Williams!

Nobuo Uemastu,Yurima,Chopin,Debussey.
