Most innovative composer

I suspect the shortlist only had 20 names. Otherwise it's a crazy list.

And they’ve whittled it down to 19.

With the criteria mentioned, I'n staggered to see Tchaikovsky anywhere on the list. Don't get me wrong - I love Tchaikovsky's music, but I have to concede that his piano music, though good in parts, isn't that great, and he would never have made it as on of the "greats", had he written only his piano music, whereas the other 18 most probably would have done.

Oh I don’t know - there aren’t many other piano concerti that feature a piano trio - Brahms only managed a cello solo!

Are South Korean tastes in music significantly different to here?

No mention of Ludovico Einaudi ?

Those "computers" will never catch on.

I yield to no one in my love, admiration and respect for Rachmaninoff's music but it is beyond absurd that he heads what must be one of the daftest "lists" that I've ever seen!
