svb@CS-Arthur (Stephan v. Bechtolsheim) (06/03/84)
Somebody asked me to repost this list of classical composers, so here it comes. You probably should reformat it (mine is in TeX compatible input and I removed all TeX stuff - that is the reason why it looks so crazy), and also a good idea is to sort it not according to birthdates as it is to now but according to names. Suggestions for additions are welcome. Spelling ... may be wrong, because I use a German dictionary as reference. Stephan v.
