no user, it is you who are the pleb and probably only know 1 work from each composer.
Some of the more obvious names like Satie, Richter, Chopin, and Rachmaninov have been mentioned, so I'll go with a couple more controversial ones.
George Gershwin: The epitome of populism in the realm of western art music, even more so than Satie due to how influential he was. I know a lot of people like him when it comes to the classical side and Charles Mingus on the jazz side for combining aspects of the two genres together, but the end results from both have always been watered down takes on both styles of music.
Dmitri Shostakovich: A lot of his stuff was very by the books. He, to me it seems, gets more love for doing more traditional stuff in western art music at a time when it was pushing boundaries in a way it had never done before. The truly redeeming factor from him only really comes from his String Quartets. Anything else is a waste of time.
I understand the first three, but why Debussy and Stravinsky?
Not a problem if it is more traditional (I don't think it is. Structurally he did things nobody else had done), just if it is good or bad regardless of "never done before" factor. This factor is a common attribute that means far less than people say it does.
>The truly redeeming factor from him only really comes from his String Quartets
Couldn't have said it better myself
Telemann
Schnittke
Rachmaninov
All British composers
