This is the newest version of our list of classical composers.
We found it quite useful and it is a good idea to derive an
alphabetically sorted version from it.
The original list uses German spelling, but we hope to have
found all the differences and these are included. Only -
how do you spell "Skrjabin". The "Enzyklopidia Britannica"
has been used as the reference book.
Please report any errors too me - also let me know whether you
think that the list is useful or not.
The help of Steve Knight, Pavel .??. (sorry - don't have
your last name - @ cornell), Rick Nyland and my father
is appreciated.
