IMSLP Forums

No offence intended to budding composers out there, but shouldn't there be a separate section especially for works by composition students/others?

(and proof could even constitute this forum thread where ther...

I do not reckon there would be a single "best" composer, though one could perhaps nominate masters in certain areas... bach: master of the fugue and counterpoint mozart: can't really define, he just connects with humanity beethoven: ditto r. strauss: master of orchestration shostakovich: m...
