1. Rachmaninoff- I don't remember hearing another composer that equaled his chops. One of the best.
2. Mozart- Surely deserves a place in any top 5 for Eine Kleine Nachtmusik alone.
3. Schubert- I love the mood of his music. Probably not as accomplished as most but he certainly speaks to my ears.
4. Beethoven- If he wasn't a composer and he was born in this day and age he would have been one of those commercially huge artists that everyone hated on because he didn;t write something as great as Moonlight Sonata everytime.
5. Brahms/Haydn- I link them together because they have alot of similarities in writing epic pieces that transcend. I can't choose between them.
