Who is your favorite classical composer?

Although it may be an easy choice, I think I have to choose Beethoven.

@Docdon23 My son lives near Austria. I stumbled across this graveyard and ALL the composers are buried together EXCEPT for Mozart. they have no idea where his body is buried. can you believe that? they had this huge funeral for him and then buried him in an unmarked grave.

@akindheart Perhaps, like several he died a poor man, and they could not afford more?? I know many artists and composers died poor and only achieved true fame after death...and thus no fortune. I have been to Germany and Austria but never these graves (only the one in Paris with many famous people).

@Docdon23 i have been to Pere LaChaise too. you have to go to the outskirts of Vienna and take a trolley to the cemetery but it is well worth it. they are all together.

@akindheart I do love Beethoven--I play several of his sonatas and the Emperor on the piano--and I do love Vienna as well!! Will go there someday...when travel gets easier...thank you!!!
