Hahah ma french compoza rankin da exact oppozite to yo azz 
Poulenc I love more than Debussy and Ravel. A lot of it is due to his chamber works.

I semi agree with this though. Chopin’s the most consistent miniaturist there is.
Larger works are incredible to me, but a bit ‘bitty’ and not as integral as Beethoven for eg.
And this piece in particular is good in parts but shows Chopin at possibly his weakest

I think da NICKELODEON is his biggest champion tbf. Big difference in quality between da burglah’z trannies and original works.
dunno if i ever commented on this, assume we’re talking about composers before the present day… i really listen to mostly new music nowadays
anyways my top tier:
-Scriabin
-Bruckner
close second tier:
-Rimsky
-Schubert
-Machaut
-Byrd
-Debussy
-Stravinsky
… and after that just basically a list of da usual suzpects

That’s a pretty odd duo together!

Hmm yeah it might seem like an odd pairing, but I definitely think there are really some big similarities that draw me to both composers equally, even though the sound of their music is so different

I love Barrios, too…what about Leo Brouwer, have you played him?

I’ve played some of his etudes simples. While I like Leo Brouwer and generally modern composers, the music that connects to me most is late romantic. Most guitar composers, what few exist, are not to my taste, since the early composers (Sor, Aguado) tried to do a Mozart imitation on guitar and the later composers like Brouwer, or even Villa-Lobos, are much more modern in their sound (and their music generally sounds more suited to piano than guitar to me). For me Barrios hits the sweet spot between these, sometimes sounding like Chopin. Other composers which sound “romantic” I like are Llobet and Kaspar Mertz.

At one point was Schumann and Ravel, add Haydn and Prokofiev.

@lv what about Castelnuovo-Tedesco for guitar? I’played orchestral part of his First concerto, it’s great, very cool piece. He has interesting Fantasia for guitar and piano as well.
And Rodrigo?
