=== A Modern Selection ===
I think the idea that many of the leading composers were German really only applies to the period between Bach and Brahms (18th and 19th centuries). Certainly, there were notable German composers outside that period, from Hildegard of Bingen (12th century) onwards. However, one could draw up a list of the 10 most important and influential 20th Century composers without a single German. In fact, it would almost certainly be dominated by Russians, testifying to the strength of musical education in early 20th century Russia just like the early 19th century in some German states.
For example (in purely alphabetical order):
Bartok (Hungary)
Britten (UK)
Ellington (USA)
Mahler (Czech Republic)
Prokofiev (Russia)
Puccini (Italy)
Ravi Shankar (India)
Schoenberg (Austria)
Shostakovich (Russia)
Stravinsky (Russia)

:Mr. Schlafly, I'm glad you kept the info on the Anglican/ Episcopal Church fact! But I'm a tad curious why you reverted the bit about the English King being the head of the Anglican Church. Officially the English monarch has been the head of the Church of England since Henry VIII established it. The reasons there are laws restricitng a Catholic royal is to ensure that he can become King and fufill his duty as head of the Church. Maybe we could try a different wording? I could find refernces if you prefer! Thank you --[[User:IScott|IScott]] 16:16, 9 April 2009 (EDT)
