Re: What classical composer are you? - Quiz thingy

http://www.gning.org/composer.html]Which classical composer are you?

You are:


Richard Wagner

This German opera composer was unexcelled both in self-importance and in artistic ambition -- he worked on a bigger scale than anyone else dared to tackle.

After changing an answer I became...

Igor Stravinsky

He revolutionized ballet with his powerful and visceral music, which brought popular audiences fully into the twentieth century.

Woohoo, my two fav composers!

Johann Sebastian Bach

Only a hundred years after his death was he recognized as possibly the profoundest musical genius of all time.

(Sorry about the lack of suitable pictures.)

Better than Louis Armstrong?  Might be reaching a tad bit...   :;):

Re: What classical composer are you? - Quiz thingy

*J. S. Bach is my favorite composer, even above W. A. Mozart.  I have half a dozen (if not more) Bach CDs.  Organ (cathedral style) music; harpsichord and violin pieces (my favorites); orchestral. 

Incredible genius.  :up:

Arcangelo Corelli is another favorite.  Of course there's a difference between Baroque and Classical.  I prefer Baroque.
