Shame on you. You forgot Nazareth.
What a list, Ed. I noticed that you included some composers from Latin America. Does anybody here have any experience with composers from say Mexico or Brazil? That would be interesting in concert, it would be good to play something not composed in Europe or America for a change.
Ed I think you missed the point - we were supposed to be seeing how many composers we could name not how many we could copy and paste from somewhere!Davep.s. if you actually do know all those composers and their dates then sorry! :p
Actually I didn't. Nazareth would not be considered a classical composer in Brazil (although he would have liked that very much). His situation is very similar to Scott Joplin. Both paid tribute to Chopin, both had classical aspirations (Joplin even wrote a ragtime Opera!), and both died without getting recognised by the classical establishment of the time. If I had included Nazareth it would have been very difficult to draw the line, and the number of Brazilian composers would easily have been ten times Ed's list. Now we don't really want that, do we?
I remember a recent summer music academy at which a popular game at 2:00 AM would be for two or more people to alternately list published composers until one could no longer name any and would lose... it is amazing how many we know if we organize them, I reached 170+. Of course I also cheated, because the non-pianists were mildly dim... but oh well...So anyway it occured to me, as a forum, combing all of our knowledge/experience, how many published composers we could list... maybe a thousand? This might be an intersting way to unearth highly obscure or forgotten oddities.Please make it a point to exclude bad or rock composers, or whatever they are called!Anyway, to begin:1. Bach, J.S.
im surprised noone has mentioned maksim or clayderman
(and Ed... it's spelled Romanian, not Rumanian; Enescu, not Enesco ;])
Does he play well?
Don't you all think so??
Please make it a point to exclude bad or rock composers, or whatever they are called! rach 3, you are an insanely ignorant mach3 fool of epic proportions, rock music has nothing to do with bad music, you are an imbosile and you belong in harvest landwith all those stinking skanky crickets!!!!
yes I do categorically label all rock music as "bad music".
