I began to like classical music at the age of 11.  My favorite composer
at that time had been Mozart.  In high school, I became more interested
in the music of Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Bach, etc.  In recent years,
I have acquired a taste for Wagner's music.  Although many years have gone
by, Mozart is still my favorite.  From the responses I received, many
people seem to have favorite composers.  It is true that many people
have more than one favorite.  (Therefore, I feel that my pole is
somewhat unfair.)
