Brahms, Bruchner, Bloch, Bizet, Barber, B.... - just to touch on the 'B's and only the "classical" composers.

I love so many of the works of so many composers and artists that it is impossible for me to pick even 3 or 4 of my favorites. Like a parent having to choose their favorite children.

And my tastes change quickly. I guess if I was a professional musician I'd want to specialize, but I bet most of them don't have one composer in their "favorite" repertory.
