A List Of the Major Classical Composers


       In the following you find a list of the major classical composers.
       This list has been compiled because it is a handy thing and a
       nice quick reference if you listen to some composer and you
       want to find out something about its 'neighbours' - I keep
       it always near to my radio.

       The list has been compiled from a German music lexikon (my native
       language is German) - so English and German spelling of names may
       differ.

       Please forward any additions / proposals / errors to me -
       I have not checked the list ten times - so it may contain
       errors.

                       Stephan Bechtolsheim

       P.S.    use 'sort' to get an alphabetical ordering.
