Just letting y'all know I'm done with Haydn as well... I think one can
hardly listen to him anymore today... think about the shape of the world
today... Bach is certainly better, but I don't like him too much... he's
likely a master of counterpoint, and it's certainly sth which was
unjustly forgotten during the homophonic style classical era, but I
dunno... Mozart was still good... and as opposed to Haydn I think
Mozart, Beethoven and also Schubert still have some bitterness... and
they are not as dry as Bach... now hmmm Brahms... well... probably going
to ditch him as well... sure he has counterpoint... but fucking hell...
yeah no... I'm done with him as well... the only pieces of Brahms I
still kind of have some interest in are his late piano pieces, the rest
can be burned... so maybe add him to some of the *inspired composers

so:

1) Mozart

Composers I feel are quite inspiring as well: Schönberg, Webern and Berg

*add Brahms to these composers

*quite inspired; and have interesting pieces... Schönberg (5 pieces for
orchestra for example), Webern (5 movements for string quartet), Webern
(Lyric Suite)...

*maybe add R. Strauss and Ravel here as well... I don't think of them as
highly I guess... but I still like to listen to them and think they have
some interesting works so ya... so it's
1) Mozart
2) Beethoven
3) Schubert
and: Brahms, R. Strauss, Ravel, Schönberg, Webern and Berg
