The Best Composers Come From.....

....what country/region? (Matter of opinion, of course)

[horowitzian]

Russia! 

However, on a more serious note, I don't see how one could declare that one region produces the 'best' composers. 

[smithreeseii]

As i said above, it is a matter of opinion.  Where do your favorite composers come from.

[vviola]

Certainly not Italy. I would rather have the Germans than those of any other country.

....what country/region? (Matter of opinion, of course)

Europe.

Well I don't think that narrows anything down SteveBob....

As i said above, it is a matter of opinion.  Where do your favorite composers come from.

All over the place, actually...just a small sampling would include Rachmaninoff, Bortkiewicz, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Debussy, Barber...That would be Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Poland, Hungary, France, and the USA.

Ok, I'll admit that this question has some flaws, but I just wanted to post something...

Scotland, of course, Everyone knows that!

The serious answer, however, is surely "their mothers".

Educated places?  Places that can support that kind of work. 

[point of grace]

Cold lands!!

From other composers and other musicians?    I think that's generally true, having the family background like that.

[slow_concert_pianist]

Lots of places. However ignorant people don't appreciate it.....

Hey, look at the biased responses to this thread
