    Felix Mendelsohn
    This master of delightful chamber music and ballet was also the rediscoverer of the genius of Bach.

      Pretty noisy, but there are some good points in the description

      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
      With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

        Hmmm... my favorite composer... not bad!

        Franz Liszt

        This star pianist, after years of making the ladies swoon, got religion and turned to serious composition.

            Brahms and Liszt?

                The quiz doesn't spell Mendelssohn right.

                    I got Beethoven.

                    And the religion question is bogus. A good number of the great composers were athiest/agnostic/deist.

                      Ludwig van Beethoven

                      Bizarre and eccentric, he considered himself a supremely great genius, and was not mistaken. He turned music upside-down and blew all the powdered wigs out of the concert hall, even though he was deaf.

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

                        I'd like to be Beethoven.
