My top 5 list would be:
1) Mozart(writing 626 pieces in just 30 years)
2) Beethoven(very expressive in any key without using expressivo)
3) Grieg and Vivaldi( Most famous pieces very much like a canon(Peer Gynt and The Four Seasons respectively))
4) Bach and Pachelbel(They are equals here because they are both very expressive baroque composers)
5) Chopin(Even though I like him very much, most of his pieces are too fast for me to play. I have tried practicing Grande Valse Brilliante but I just can't get past that Allegro hurdle and keep speeding it up to Presto. I have tried thinking "This is just a trill, you are good at fast trills, you can do it" but even with that, I still can't get past Allegro)
