I am always thinking about new, interesting, frugal sets I could put
together on the side.

I'd also include Haydn, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Gershwin, Dvorak,
Chopin, na dpossible Copeland and John Williams

I'd definitly leave out Bartok, Mahler, Prokofiev, and Schumann

I don't know enogh about Mendelsohn and Bruckner

I'm sure there are many others :-)

Dietrich Buxtehude was J.S. Bach's teacher in Luebeck at the end of the 17th
century. Please don't leave out Richard Strauss. To branch out from
Germany/Austria/Italy, how about Edvard Grieg (Norway 1843-1907), Jean
Sibelius (Finland 1865-1957), Manuel de Falla (Spain 1876-1946), Edward
Elgar (England 1857-1934), Carl Nielsen (Denmark 1865-1931), Claude Debussy
(France 1862-1918), Percy Grainger (Australia 1882-1961, although most
composing was done in UK and US), Carlos Chavez (Mexico 1899-1978). If you
want some older stuff, there's Giovanni Gabrielli (Italy 1554-1612), Thomas
Tallis (England 1505-1585). You could even include Henry VIII, but then I
think your set just got expensive.

I'm still trying to get over the list you're going to leave out, though.

What? Nobody mentioned Aram Khachaturian!!
And I definitely love Prokofiev. Ever since I first saw "The
Competition." My 88 year-old sister is a concert pianist, and she
can't stand Prokofiev. Too many notes? :-)
Aram.

Oops, sorry. My penalty shall be spinning Swedish plate money on spikes
while singing along to the Sabre Dance.

If you love Bartok you probably like jazz too...
At least we can be friends while talking about coins ;-)

Hmm, Haroutunian Khachaturian, I sense a bias ;-)

But didn't you include Gershwin in your original list?

Gershwin, and 1920's jazz, boogie woogie still had melody, harmony and
substance. The Miles Davis, Monk, Coltrane stuff is what I just can't
deal with.
