For me it's Dvorak.

Of the contemporaries it's John Cage, Philip Glass and John Adams.

Mozart. It depends on what you define strictly as Classical Music or not as I have noticed that people have varying ideas about what is and what isn't.

I also like Vivaldi, Puccini and Verdi as well as Chopin- I am not so keen on the grand symphonic music so much and not the biggest fan of Beethoven.

Handel

but when it comes to classical music, I am very much a n00b... I have been listening to a lot more classical radio to relax me in the final days of this (rather challenging) semester at university.

I like Operatic italian classical.

Especially Carmina Buruna and Giuseppe Verdi.

Sorry, there are 15 options at this point. You couldn't possibly expect me to include everyone... it is a limited poll.

Yes, there are just too many actual choices to include, all of them extraordinarily good.

I abstain from voting in the poll because each choice you offer is better or as good as the other in some respect. Alas!

If I have to "go Russian", Mussorgsky is definitely my favorite of them all:

And again as conceived by Emerson, Lake & Palmer:

I don't listen to much classical music but my fiance says I would probably really like Tchaikovsky.

I voted for Beethoven:

Verdi, however, is very good too:

This is wow ^^^

A complete opposite composer of the 20th century era is Bela Bartok, my hero! Absolutely weird, and crazy, original compositions.

1. This should be multiple choice poll.

2. I voted for Mozart because this masterpiece:

3. I would be a lying dog if I didn't say I thought Beethoven, Chopin, Vivaldi were equally good.
