Best by century:
12th - Hildegard von Bingen
13th - Perotin
14th - Machaut
15th - Dunstable
16th - Byrd
17th - Forberger
18th - Bach
19th - Beethoven

21st - Not that impressed so far. Making actual groundbreaking music has been transferred to "underground" music.

William Byrd ya numpty.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Jakob_Froberger
A German keyboard composer. The mid-1600s weren't really that great of a period for classical composers.

>Stockhausen
>Not Schoenberg, Webern, Ives, or even Boulez
Why?

Dvorak's ninth symphony

Claire de Lune is the peak of music and no one can change my mind

Listen to Tristan und Isolde boi

fine boi

chopin is dank

boi this is the music in melancholia

Bonus points just for that

My runners-up were Britten, Stravinsky, and Schoenberg.
Schoenberg is a good critic (seriously, if people read what he had to say about composition we'd have 90% less "why does my song sound shit?" and "is music subjective?" threads, but I've never really loved how his music actually sounded.

Not a fan of pure serialism. I like Ives but not as much as Stockhausen, also his influence is a lot less than the others on either of our lists.

I find a lot of his music very atmospheric, almost like listening to a movie. I also think he was right to jump into electronic music and recognise it was the future while his contemperies were trying to find every last use out of traditional orchestral instruments. Plus, Stockhausen is the only one of those to have significant influence outside of classical music.

I like some of Wagner's work. Ride of the Valkyries, Siegfreid Funeral March, etc.

Well, I agree about Schoenberg- I value his influence much more than his actual music. However, Webern was almost just as influential and made achingly beautiful music that was never "pure serialism." I added Ives to the list, because, in my opinion, his early works could almost be treated as a blueprint for the musical routes that would be explored during the twentieth century. His experiments with microtonality, minimalism, and serialistic techniques often predated the styles expanded upon by later composers.

Where does Schoenberg talk about that stuff exactly, can you name me an essay of his or something?

I hope to god this is fucking satire
