Why did you only give those options in the poll? I could think of many more that some people would think would be more hardcore than the choices you gave.

Schubert D. 894 is like, totally RAD.

[furtwaengler]

And D. 887...Oh my. Four instruments and the world cannot contain it.

I suppose the most hardcore composer is the one that can only compose and cant play any instrument

Who else should there be?:  I can add to it.

And who would that be?

[richard black]

Sadly, there are composers around today who can't play an instrument (I don't mean can't play really well, that would be most composers now and over the last 150 years, but can't really play at all). And it shows, not in a good way either.

"Which Composer is the Most Hardcore?"

That's one of the most meaningless questions I've heard in a long time! "Hardcore" in what sense? Since they have all been dead for a long time, I imagine that most of their cores are pretty hard...

[smithreeseii]

Well, basically, since this is the "non-piano" section, I wanted to ask an essentially meaningless question and see how everybody would interpret it.  If you think it pertains to how long they have been dead, then go ahead and vote on that premise.

LOL, "hardcore" is not a word I'd ever think to use for describing any of them.

[smithreeseii]

That doesn't necessarily matter peter, just go with your gut instinct.
