Here's a hard music question: Name a well-known classical composer BESIDES Mozart and Beethoven?!?

Question

=D

I'll use Bach! =D

Answer 1

JS Bach

Answer 2

Technically the Classical period in music was from around 1750 to 1810, so many of the composers mentioned come from much later. I believe Bach is generally considered a Baroque composer rather than a classical composer. Some that do fall in that time period are
Joseph Haydn
George Friedrich Handel
Muzio Clementi
Armand-Louis Couperin
Nicoló Paganini
Carl Maria von Weber
Carl Czerny
Gioacchino Rossini
Franz Schubert

Answer 3

It depends on your point of view as what classical is. Some people say that classical music is anything with a violin in it (well ok, something like that) - but musicians usually say that music written between a certain period (around 1750-1810) and in a certain way is of the Classical style. By this definition Bach is NOT Classical, he is a Baroque composer. Interestingly Mozart's later pieces are not typical of the Classical genre either, nor is mid to late Beethoven - they are far too expressionate to easily fall into the Classical category, which is full of rules and less expression (though nowhere near as strict as in the Baroque)

Many of the other composers listed are not Classical either - Chopin, Brahms, Wagner, Elgar, Rachmaninov, Tchaikovski, Straus, Grieg and Mendelssohn are all Romantic (the period after Classical) wheras Shostakovich and Crumb are modernists. Far more typical of Classical music are people like Haydn and Clemenzi.
