New Classical Fan, Who are some great composers?

[johnsandy]

[h=1]The Great Composers[/h]
Everybody has their own favourite composers. So everybody has a different idea about who is great. However I think almost every list of the great composers of classical music would include the following three names:

• Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750).
  
• Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791).
  
• Ludvig van Beethoven (1770–1827).
  

After that the list becomes a bit more tricky. If I were asked to chose just one more name to add to the list it would be

• Richard Wagner (1813–1883)
