And without too much thought, there are [[Maurice Ravel]], [[Francis Poulenc]] and [[Olivier Messiaen]] from France, [[Sergei Rachmaninov]] from Russia, the Brit. [[Edward Elgar]], the Moravian [[Leos Janacek]], [[Jean Sibelius]] from Finland.....and so on. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 20:42, 10 April 2009 (EDT)
::And lets now go ''before'' the flowering of German musical creativity:It is interesting too to note the dearth of Germans in any list of important composers in the centuries leading up to 1700 – the Renaissance and early to mid Baroque. These may not be household names, but their importance is no less than those of the later fellas and I am pretty sure I have heard most, if not all of them, on the radio in the last few months.
*[[William Byrd]] - English
*[[Arcangelo Corelli]] – Italian
*[[Francois Couperin]] - French
*[[John Dowland]] – English
*[[Guillaume Dufay]] – Flemish
*[[Giovanni Gabrieli]] – Italian
*[[Carlo Gesualdo]] – Italian
*[[Orlando Gibbons]] – English
*[[Josquin Desprez]] – Flemish
*Orlande de [[Lassus]] – Flemish
*[[Jean-Baptiste Lully]] – French
*[[Claudio Monteverdi]] – Italian
*[[Johannes Ockeghem]] – Flemish
*[[Palestrina]] – Italian
*[[Henry Purcell]] – English
*[[Thomas Tallis]] – English
*[[Tomas Luis de Victoria]] – Spanish
The only contemporary Germans I can think of are von Biber, Buxtehude, Hassler, and Schutz – of which Buxtehude is the most well-known and [[Heinrich Schutz]] the most important. I may have forgotten someone – then I may have also left out someone from the top list too. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 20:42, 10 April 2009 (EDT)
