Who loves classical music?

(Stupid question.....probably everyone here)

I am a recent convert, and have discovered Bach and Vivaldi.

I am partial to strings. With my favourite being the G.

Who is your favourite classical composer?

Yeah, I'm always tempted to point out whether a composer is truly a "Classical" composer, too. But these days, I just understand that most people use the term in reference to instrumental works not composed as film scores and let it be.
