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.) -- Yosi Hoshen, Bell Laboratories Naperville, Illinois, (312)-979-7321, Mail: ihnp4!ihuxn!jho
