This year I have participated in March Madness...basketball isn't one of my favorite sports but I will have to say that College Basketball is more fun to watch than professional...and since Mizzou is doing better this year it's even more fun to watch...
Why am I participating in March Madness? Well first because one of my brackets is a fundraiser for my neice's softball team and the second one? All I have to say is that I got sucked in to the "madness"...at this point I'm not really doing very well...Wake Forest killed me...
Ok so what does this have to do with Classical music? Well I started thinking about which composers would I put in a "Sweet 16"? I don't have a complete list yet...it may just work out to an "Elite 8"...so here's the start of my list...these are composers whose body of work I enjoy...you'll note that most are from the Romantic period, there are a number of Composers that I haven't listed (yet) that I only enjoy maybe one or two of their works...but I may add them later.
Here's the list not in any particular order
Brahms
Beethoven
Dvorak
Mahler
Gould
Rachmaninoff
Verdi
Mozart
Percy Grainger
Schumann
Schubert
Who would you put in your "Sweet 16"?
