To my musically-inclined friends and followers, I have been working on a poster of the most popular composers and I need some help.
While I am more educated than most on the orchestral/classical (goodness I hate using that word in this context) canon, I am not an expert. I have my list of composers and I don’t think I will be changing it too much. But I’ve been debating on the categorization of several of the composers especially those that sit on the fuzzy line between Romantic and Modern, and to a lesser extent: Classical and Romantic. I’ve been considering neoclassical and any other non-romantic 20th Century styles as part of the “Modern Era,” perhaps I should rename the era as “Contemporary” instead. Are there any miscategorizations? (You can answer either on Google+ or @thebestsophist on the Twitters.)
